She communicates in notes and emails and is very observant. When she moves with her mother to a deserted farmhouse in the Pennines, she becomes intrigued by the traces of the previous inhabitant's life there, William Caxton, a schoolteacher who served as an officer at the camp of the Russian White Army during World War 2.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWho is the mysterious Anna he has addressed so many letters about his past to?
