Reconnecting with a holiday village after 20 years Miranda, her family, a friend and ex boyfriends find that not much has changed - only life happened in the intervening years. It is a story of intrigue, family fun, secrets, sorrows and love. Three generations spend time away from the city, peer groups and job pressures to give Jack a final farewell. The scenery of the beach, country lanes, local stores and rental cottage with pool are all very vivid.
If you have ever been to Cornwall you will remember the pace of life there, names of places and images your mind brings forth as you read. I was thrilled that TRAGO MILLS was mentioned as that shopping complex brings fond memories from my teenage years (over 40 years ago!).
I love the cover - anything with beach huts will always appeal to me as they are so British and attractive - these painted candy pink and a hint of pale blue. Beach huts for me are landmarks of holidays on the coasts of our shores that will never be forgotten.
Well done Judy Astley.
