Travel Guide

Not so much a booktrail but a landscape of a marriage and its secrets. There is mention of Hadleigh where the women seems to reappear….

This books is an homage to books, readers and writing – a trail of books and a series of letters tucked into their pages.

Letters addressed to the husband, alongside other random items also tucked  away by various owners. At the bottom of each letter, the title of the book that it is hidden in is written and giving a clue to the contents of the letter.
