This is the story of Ella.And Robert.And of all the things they should have said, but never did.
âWhat have you been up to?âI shrug, âJust existing, I guess.ââLooks like more than just existing.âRobert gestures at the baby, the lifeboat, the ocean.âAll right, not existing. Surviving.âHe laughs, not unkindly. âSounds grim.ââIt wasnât so bad, really. But I wish youâd been there.â
Ella has known Robert all her life. Through seven key moments and seven key people their journey intertwines.
From the streets of Glasgow during WW2 to the sex, drugs and rock nâ roll of London in the 60s and beyond, this is a story of love and near misses. Of those who come in to our lives and leave it too soon. And of those who stay with you foreverâŚ
