I am trying to find a book I read about 10 years ago. I have recently read Me before you and it reminded me of this book and I desperately want to read it again. However I cannot for the life of me remember the name.

I can only remember a few details:

*the book is about two childhood sweethearts (boy and girl)
*they both go off in different directions in life.
*the girl has a child, which I think is a boy.
*the boy leaves her a letter which is never given to her
*when they are both in old age he turns up out of the blue in her doorstep and they live happily ever after.

I can remember the book itself being rather thick with a red cover. I cannot remember the author otherwise Google would have been my friend for this, I also cannot remember the characters names.

Sorry if that does not give you a lot to go on but any suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

It couldn't be by Mary Wesley could it?

My first thought was Harnessing Peacocks but it doesn't exactly fit your description.
