She holds the verse in the palm of her hand and tells a story she died in.
When Megan dies, she leaves a promise with her twin Emily: -I-ll weave a song for you-it may take a while, but I-ll come back to you Em, somehow-. Her song threads a tapestry, spinning through a mosaic of memories and weaving into the present day, touching the lives of Alice and Jon.
The Caf-y the Oak is in the heart of Crayshead, a Cornish seaside town with a sleepy tortoise, a vocal parrot, and a dog named Wellington. Emily is charmed by Alice, an old lady with secrets hidden behind the walls of a convent. Jon-s life lacks purpose. After taking up a new teaching post he feels settled enough to begin unravelling his past, but when he finds something he isn-t looking for it causes him to question everything.
Emily seeks comfort in her art, reflecting on her childhood, and helping Jon pursue his past.
