Against her wishes, her thirty-something daughter Rebecca is finally leaving home to move in with her boyfriend. Margaret, reluctantly, agrees to take in a lodger - Milton, an American painter visiting the area on the trail of Bowden Broome; a famous artist who stayed and worked in the town over a hundred years ago. Milton's arrival turns Margaret's life around, as with his help she comes to terms with the ghosts of her past and realises her future may be brighter than she thought. A Fine Bright Day Today is a moving and evocative tale of autumnal love, set on the edge of an English coastal town, where lives are reshaped by a chance meeting with an exotic stranger.
