Episode 2

As Julia looks in the mirror, the same mirror that her great-aunt glanced into before meeting the explorer Edward Mackley, she reflects on her own meeting with her future husband.

Emma Fielding reads from Amy Sackville's debut novel about true courage and enduring love, in which the lives of two couples, living a hundred years apart, collide unexpectedly one summer's day.

As Julia looks at her reflection in the mirror, the very same mirror that her great-aunt Emily glanced into before meeting the dashing explorer Edward Mackley back in 1897, she reflects on her own meeting with her future husband.
