Anders' life is moving on. But Tina still feels trapped in hers

In 1964, Professor Glob, the curator of the Silkeborg Museum in Denmark, dedicated his book ‘The Bog People’ to a group of schoolgirls who had written to him about his recent archaeological discoveries.

50 years later, at a defining moment in her life, Tina Hopgood writes him another letter about a planned pilgrimage to Denmark with her best friend, Bella, to visit the 2000-year-old Tollund Man.

Why did they never make the trip?

Tina doesn’t expect a reply and when Anders Larsen, a lonely museum curator responds, neither does he.

Their unexpected correspondence becomes a shared meditation on love, loss, life choices made and the opportunity to make new and different ones.

Written by Anne Youngson.
