The Red Letter



Secrets and lies in the 1930s in an atmospheric short story from the bestselling author of The Girl in the Photograph

Marjorie knows that James has had affairs in the past. She knows that when he works late, he can't attend a party, he seems to be deep in thought, his heart, mind or body might be with another woman. But that doesn't stop her breath catching in her throat when she sees the letter inked into his diary. A red A - unassuming and yet dominating, all powerful. Unquestionable.

She was a clever, witty and independent woman once. Not someone's second best with a broken spirit. And as Marjorie looks at the red letter A - Amy? Angela? - she realises that it's is time to rediscover herself.
