A tea tin.
Owned by one girl,
Found by another,
Over half a century later.
What mysteries does it hide?
An intriguing split time-line story, alternating between Leningrad in 1960's and modern day England. Vera dreams of rising thorough the Kirov Ballet and maybe becoming a People's Artist. Fay is a pastor's kid, disillusioned with her parents' faith, who attends a theatre summer programme in the hope of improving her skills. The girls' plans do not work out as they'd hoped, and their lives become entwinned when Fay accidentally finds an old tea tin.
