One night will unlock a lifetime of secrets… Discover the rich, complicated, dazzling life of Florence Butterfield, a uniquely lovable and inspiring protagonist.
Florence Butterfield has lived an extraordinary life full of travel, passion and adventure. But, at eighty-seven, she suspects there are no more surprises to come her way.
Then, one midsummer’s night, something terrible happens – so strange and unexpected that Florence – or Florrie, as her friends call her – is suspicious.
Was this really an accident, or is she living alongside a would-be murderer?
The only clue is a magenta envelope, discarded earlier that day.
And Florrie – cheerfully independent but often overlooked – is the only person determined to uncover the truth.
As she does, Florrie finds herself looking back on her own life . . .
…and a long-buried secret becomes ever harder to ignore.
