Paradise has been home to generations of Trevannions: Paradise, the house at the head of a sheltered Cornish valley where Mrs Trevannion lives, surrounded by her family. Frail and elderly, Honor Trevannion, bedridden following a nasty fall, is inexplicably anxious and distressed by the arrival of a young American bearing an old black-and-white photograph of a double wedding and looking for a long-lost relative.

Honor's children Bruno and Emma, granddaughter Joss and faithful cousin Mousie try to nurse Honor back to health, unaware of the secrets she keeps from those closest to her. Increasingly troubled and confused, she begs Joss to find a cache of letters that have been hidden for fifty years.
