Letters from Skye Jessica, Brockmole

18 June, 1940 Oh, my Margaret, You have no secrets from me, but I've kept a part of myself locked away, always.

Mother Elspeth is fond of saying to her daughter that 'the first volume of my life is out of print'. But when a bomb hits an Edinburgh street and Margaret finds her mother crouched in the ruins of her bedroom pulling armfuls of yellowed letters onto her lap, the past Elspeth has kept so carefully locked away is out in the open.
