Having lost touch with her friends Ralph Tinsley and Oliver Fenton, Marnie is surprised when early one morning she receives a phone call from Oliver. He has booked a seat for her on that afternoon's flight from London to Scotland. Their friend Ralph is in a remote cottage in the Scottish Highlands, he is very ill and wants to see Marnie again before he dies.
Marnie catches the plane and is met by a neighbour who takes her the rest of the way to Ralph's cottage.
Ralph asks Marnie to tell him the story of when they first met. As Marnie reminisces and tells stories of meeting Ralph and later meeting Oliver it takes them all back in time to when they were young. Ralph, who doesn't actually speak very much, provides a lot of the text through his own thoughts and memories.
This is an interesting story of friendships and love.
The author Nicci Gerrard also writes thrillers jointly with her husband Sean French under the name Nicci French.
