Early draft
The Borrowed Hours
Mara Ellwood is a quiet librarian in South London who spends her days helping other people find the right words, while trying not to notice how carefully she has arranged her own life around absence. When a local historian comes in searching for a lost set of wartime letters, their research pulls her into a family story that has been left unfinished for decades, and into a relationship that is harder to keep neatly catalogued than she expects.
