Most of us are soon forgotten, our bodies turned to dust and our lives and memories lost in time. Emily was a resident in a hotel by the sea. Her generation lived and fought in two World Wars and witnessed a century of breathtaking change. It was a time when ordinary people lived extraordinary lives. We should remember them and Emily lives on in the pages of this book. Emily's story is further enhanced by her unique nature and circumstances; travelling alone across America and Canada in 1925; her work during World War II; and her bisexuality and relationship with Rose. The book describes Emily's relationships, sexual awakening and loneliness in old age.
