By Manny Draycott Lai. Jane Lapotaire plays the mother of two daughters living in very different parts of the world in the early 1920s, who correspond with her as she sits alone in England - a long way from her homeland of Trinidad- trying to come to terms with both her isolation and the recent death of her husband.
Director Cherry Cookson
