A dual-timeline historical mystery set in contemporary Wimbledon and Edwardian England. When freelance photographer Kate Harvey is drawn into the life of her elderly neighbour after a medical emergency, she uncovers the recorded story of Ruby, a parlour maid who came to Wimbledon in 1909 searching for her lost love. As Kate listens to Ruby's tale of love, service, suffragette activism and family secrets, she begins to realise the past is intimately connected to her own life and her increasingly troubled relationship with her daughter.
