Features & Highlights

  • A historical saga about the after-effects of a storm, and how one woman's arrival affects a community
  • When the fiercest storm in living memory pounds the shores of 19th-century Cornwall, wrecking ships and bringing death and destruction to seafarers and coastal communities, a young girl is found, barely alive, washed up among the rocks of a remote North Cornish cove. Her arrival and the mystery surrounding her background will affect the lives of those who come to know her and, for Alice Kilpeck in particular, nothing will ever be the same again.

One of my favorite authors

My father came over on the boat from Cornwall so I had an immediate affinity for this writer when I read his first book. Am trying to read all of them over time. I've been to some of the places he writes about and my dad worked in some of them as a child. He was small and left school in the third grade to work in the tin mines. I never realized what a hard life he'd had until this author wrote about what that life was like. A very good read if you're anything like an Anglophile.
