Two hundred and twelve letters. Forty years. Not one of them sent.When Walter Pascoe dies at Seaview House, care worker Nell Harding is holding his hand. His last words are a message she doesn’t understand: 'Tell her I kept my word.' Then, in the back of his wardrobe, she finds a tartan shortbread tin full of letters, every one addressed to the same woman, and not one of them posted.Margaret Ellery is eighty-eight, and lives in a nursing home near Clevedon, nearly two hours up the motorway. Her grandson Tom, a quiet boatbuilder who keeps his feelings behind a closed door, isn’t sure he wants a stranger stirring up the past. But the letters were written for his grandmother, and he can’t find a way to say no.So Tom writes a list of rules, and every Sunday Nell drives up the M5 to read the letters aloud to Margaret, while Tom listens. And as the story of a harbour, a light and a promise unfolds, they begin to uncover what really happened in 1963, and why the one letter that mattered never arrived.A warm, moving, closed-door romance about love, memory, and the words we wait too long to say.
