Summary
House martins are agile migratory swallows that follow a fixed seasonal pattern: departing southern England each autumn and returning in spring to rebuild their nests beneath eaves and along cliffs. Their arrival and departure mark a quiet cycle — one of absence, return, and the traces left behind.
Told entirely through Sherlock Holmes’ one-sided emails over four years, this is a story of beekeeping, forensic decay, questionable jam, and emotional migration — of two men making their way back to one another, one season at a time.

Summary
After Sherlock leaves London, John tells himself it’s fine. He has work. He has Rosie.
But emails keep arriving: oddly specific observations, questions, invitations. John’s responses are brief, careful.Until Rosie starts asking questions. Until grief catches up. Until Sherlock’s quiet persistence makes distance impossible to ignore.
Told through journals, emails, and drafts John will never send, Correspondence follows the slow work of repair—and learning that belonging isn’t found. It’s chosen, again and again.
