Letter from a Tea Garden

1965, an English country mansion. Eleanora Byngh is not in a good state. Wedded to the whisky bottle and with her house crumbling round her ears, her days seem destined to follow a lonely (and grumpy) downhill path. Then the post brings an unexpected invitation to return to the Indian tea gardens of her childhood, Eleanora risks breaking open painful memories of her younger years, lived across a tumultuous century. As relationships with her new-found family face their own challenges, she is offered fresh truths, the chance of love and unexpected new life - if she is prepared to take them.
