Fifty years later, at a defining moment in her life, Tina Hopgood writes him another letter about a planned pilgrimage to Denmark with her best friend Bella, to visit the 2000-year-old Tollund Man. Why did they never make the trip? She doesn't expect a reply. When Anders Larsen, a lonely museum curator, answers it, neither does he. Their unexpected correspondence becomes a shared meditation on love, loss, life choices made and the opportunity to make new and different ones.
