A love story set in the French Riviera and London, spanning the 1960s through to the 2020s. It tells the tale of elegant Jennifer Stirling and how her life becomes inextricably interwoven with that of Ellie Haworth, a journalist who discovers Jennifer’s letters written to her lover in the 1960s, almost half a century later. 

Jennifer lives a luxurious life with her wealthy and powerful husband, Laurence. When an unfortunate event wipes her memory, she struggles to find her identity until she stumbles upon wistful love letters hidden in her home. The passionate notes unravel a star-crossed love affair she had with foreign correspondent Anthony O'Hare and ultimately lead her to discover her true self. 

Jennifer's story becomes intertwined with that of Ellie, a whip-smart journalist in 2020s London, who discovers and becomes enthralled by these love letters from a bygone era. As she begins to piece them together with the help of archivist Rory, she sets off on a journey that will entangle the two women's lives forever. 

Adapted from Jojo Moyes's best-selling novel.
