When young poet, Dora Fielding, moves to the small Scottish town of Helensburgh with her new husband, she doesn't realise how lonely it will be at home alone with a baby; or how cold her neighbours will be. But then she finds a message in a bottle on the beach, with a phone number. She calls the number, and what happens next is a breathtaking connection that rejoices in the power of imagination.
