Description
Bonnie Falls' life is about to take a dramatic turn. With an abandoned degree behind her and a thirtieth birthday looming, she's moved into a new flat and is struggling to find her place in the world. Her landlady, Sylvia Slythe, takes a keen interest in Bonnie's writing ambitions and encourages her to finish one of her stories. As summer approaches, Sylvia suggests that they take a holiday together - to the seaside, perhaps. The idea seems unlikely, but as neither of them has anyone else to go on holiday with, it becomes an opportunity for Bonnie to escape her mundane routine. But what happens when Bonnie starts writing about a young woman who moves to the seaside and becomes under strange influences? This tense and thought-provoking novel explores the complexities of creativity, influence, and the human psyche, with two unforgettable characters at its centre.
