Dearest Margarita by Penguin Uk
In 1900, aged twenty and travelling from Havana to Europe, Margarita Johnson met and fell in love with the dashing gold prospector Charles Lumb. Her father disapproved, and after three years of secret postcards, the couple eloped to London. Cut out of her father's will, Margarita was never welcomed again in Havana. Margarita treasured her postcards from Charles, her family and friends, who wrote from England America and Europe. They remained with her until she died in 1959. Years later they were found by her granddaughter, tucked away in a cubby hole, and are here seen for the first time.
In those years before mobile phones, email and Skype, travellers depended on the rudimentary communications system known as the postcard -- Julian Barnes, 'The Sense of an Ending'
After their secret wedding, Margarita and Charles settled in England. Margarita's mother and siblings visited her regularly from Cuba, but her father remained true to his word. They had five children, and remained devoted to each other for the rest of their lives. Eleo Carson is their granddaughter.
