Ingrid Coleman writes letters to her husband, Gil, about the truth of their marriage, and hides them in the thousands of books he has collected. After writing her final letter Ingrid disappears, leaving behind her beautiful but dilapidated house by the sea, her husband, and her two daughters, Flora and Nan. Twelve years later Gil thinks he sees Ingrid, but it's chalked up to senility. Flora returns home to care for her father and to try discover what happened to Ingrid, never realizing that the answers to her questions surround her.

Work Description
In this spine-tingling tale Ingrid Coleman writes letters to her husband, Gil, about the truth of their marriage, but she never sends them. Instead she hides them within the thousands of books her husband has collected. After she writes her final letter, Ingrid disappears.
Twelve years later, her adult daughter, Flora comes home to look after her injured father. Secretly, Flora has never believed her mother is dead, and she starts asking questions, without realizing that the answers she’s looking for are hidden in the books that surround her.
