In Denmark, Professor Anders Larsen, an urbane man of facts, has lost
his wife and his hopes for the future. On an isolated English farm, Tina
Hopgood is trapped in a life she doesn't remember choosing. Both believe
their love stories are over.
Brought together by a shared fascination with the Tollund Man, subject
of Seamus Heaney's famous poem, they begin writing letters to one
another. And from their vastly different worlds, they find they have
more in common than they could have imagined. As they open up to one
another about their lives, an unexpected friendship blooms. But then
Tina's letters stop coming, and Anders is thrown into despair. How far
are they willing to go to write a new story for themselves?
