Their parents Isabel and Robert are overcome with grief but as time passes their tragedy becomes part of the everyday fabric of village life. One summer’s day thirty years later Anna arrives. She comes to the village on a whim hoping to start afresh - and without telling anyone she is pregnant goes to live with Isabel. For a time the women find solace in each other’s company but the baby’s arrival causes powerful feelings of loss and heartbreak to surface and Anna must question whether Isabel’s feelings towards her child are entirely benign . . .
