Forget me not blues

A letter from Portugal makes Colette Cronjé remember everything she has spent a lifetime trying to forget. The sender is a long-lost relative, found after a decades-long search, and the letter is about saudade, the love that remains after its object has gone. It's a love that has shaped the lives of three generations of women, trapped between leaving and staying, and between what is unbearable to remember and impossible to forget.

Colette is too cautious to change her destiny, her daughter Nandi is too angry to prevent her own. Can Colette's granddaughter, Tina, find the courage to write a redemptive ending for a family she has never known?
