|summary=Eleanor has been persuaded by her children to seriously consider sheltered accommodation. At the age of 94 and blind, she isn't considered safe rattling around a big old house. She doesn't surrender without conditions though: before she considers moving out, a stranger should be employed to sort her photos and papers before burning them. The family agree and Peter is appointed. Gradually he realises why Eleanor doesn’t want her children to see the documents as the story of hidden life, love and loss is revealed.

|summary=Martha and David Winter live at Winterfold. David Winter is a famous cartoonist but he and his wife are getting on a bit and life isn’t quite as easy as it used to be, or, indeed for their children and grandchildren. As we meet them in August 2012 Martha is sending out invitations for her eightieth birthday and she makes it clear that she’d like them all to be there. Son Bill is the local GP and he’s struggling in his second marriage to the much younger Karen, but he’s still close to his daughter Lucy. The girls are much further away. Florence lives in Florence, just to confuse matters. She’s a Professor, ferociously intelligent and emotionally naive. Daisy is in India. Her childhood was ‘’difficult’’ but she’s now doing charitable work - which isn’t a lot of consolation for her daughter Cat whom she abandoned when she was a few weeks old.
