Description
Would you run away to find out where you've come from?
Twenty-five-year-old Chiara has always wished she knew her father, thought to have died in a tragic accident before she was born.
When she learns by chance that her biological father could in fact be a Frenchman living on the island of Groix, Chiara sets off for the summer of a lifetime, leaving behind only three letters in her wake.
Finding companions in Urielle, a young mother looking to get away from Paris, and Gabin, an attractive writer reluctant to discuss his past, Chiara becomes bewitched by the island and its community.
Under the guise of a letter carrier, Chiara slowly uncovers the secrets of her family, but can she find herself - and love - along the way?
