Grace is turning ninety. She plans to treat it just like any other day. A swim in the sea, a cup of tea and the chance to spend time with her granddaughter, Elin, and great-granddaughter, Beca. After all, a special occasion can sometimes make us think of those that are missing... She hasn't seen her daughter for thirty years. But Elin has other plans. A party. Her grandmother may have said that she doesn't want a fuss but Elin knows better (she often does, she finds). As the special day approaches, Grace, Elin and Beca navigate the drama, quiet sorrow and noisy joy of life, love and a big birthday. What could possibly go wrong?
