Description

Candida Wilton has been ignored by her husband and children for years, before being displaced by a younger woman. Moving to London, alone, divorced and without much money, it seems she will now enjoy a life only of small pleasures. When she receives an unexpected windfall, Candida maps out a journey she has long dreamed of.
