Beatrice leaves behind her life and job in London to stay with her great aunt Jane, her only remaining relative. Being mixed race in the early eighties is not that unusual in the big city, but in the north, she does rather stand out as different and wonders if she'll be able to get work. As it happens there's an aristocratic lady who needs a typist and is delighted to discover Beatrice's half-African roots, when at last Beatrice manages to get there. She is somewhat late for her interview, which happens to fall on the day the snowy winter of 1981/2 begins. Beatrice's car gets stuck in the middle of nowhere and she's in serious trouble-until a bad-tempered farmer on a tractor comes to her rescue. She hopes she'll never have to encounter him again, but fate has other ideas…as does the farmer himself. Enjoy this traditional take on the contemporary sweet romance in the style of the late Betty Neels
