Synopsis
A return to an idyllic Cornish holiday home – what could possibly go wrong?
*
It’s twenty years since Miranda, then sixteen, holidayed in Cornwall and her life changed forever. Now she’s back again – with her mother Clare and the ashes of her stepfather Jack, whose wish was to be scattered on the sea overlooked by their one-time holiday home.
The picturesque cove seems just the same as ever, but the people are different –smarter incomers, fewer locals, more luxury yachts in the harbour. But Miranda and Clare both find some strangely familiar faces, and revisit the emotions they both thought had disappeared.
Here's what Good Housekeeping readers had to say about the title.
Started reading it on a cold damp Sunday afternoon and couldn't stop. I was transported to a warm summer in Cornwall and felt that I actually met the characters. A fantastic read and I didn't want the book to end. Brilliant. Susan, 59, Heckmondwike
I haven't had the concentration to read a book in ages but I couldn't put this one down! Nikki, 31, Cleckheaton
Lovely, well paced, escapist read with likable characters that I could empathise with - would make a great holiday read! Mrs K, 55
Fantastic, funny and heart-warming. Clare, 27
I found the book very relaxing and loved reading about the different characters. It was heartwarming and I can't wait to read more of Judy's books. This is the first one I have read. Loved it. Couldn't put it down. Margaret, 78, Monkswood
