Spanning four decades, from 1968 onwards, this is the story of a fabulous but flawed family and the slew of ordinary and extraordinary incidents that shape their everyday lives. It is a story about childhood and growing up, loss of innocence, eccentricity, familial ties and friendships, love and life. Stripped down to its bare bones, it's about the unbreakable bond between a brother and sister.
Cornwall, 1947. Marvellous Ways is a ninety-year-old woman who's lived alone in a remote creek for nearly all her life. Recently she's taken to spending her days sitting on a mooring stone by the river with a telescope. She's waiting for something - she's not sure what, but she'll know it when she sees it. Drake is a young soldier left reeling by the war. He's agreed to fulfil a dying man's last wish and hand-deliver a letter to the man's father in Cornwall. But Drake's journey doesn't go to plan, and sees him literally wash up in Marvellous' creek, broken in body and spirit. When Marvellous comes to his aid, an unlikely friendship grows between the two. Can Drake give Marvellous what she needs to say goodbye to the world, and can she give him what he needs to go on?
Manchmal schenkt einem das Leben eine unerwartete Freundschaft ... Cornwall, 1947. Marvellous Ways und Freddy Drake könnten unterschiedlicher nicht sein. Doch das Schicksal führt die neunzigjährige Frau und den jungen Soldaten zusammen, denn Freddy, der einem im Sterben liegenden Freund versprochen hat, dessen Vater einen letzten Brief nach Cornwall zu bringen, landet unversehens bei Marvellous in ihrer selbsterwählten Einsamkeit. Sie nimmt den körperlich wie seelisch gebrochenen Mann bei sich auf, und eine unerwartete Freundschaft nimmt ihren Anfang. Wird Freddy Marvellous das geben können, was sie braucht, um dieser Welt auf Wiedersehen zu sagen? Und kann sie ihm geben, was er braucht, um weiterzumachen?
