Description

A granite farm in north Cornwall, perched on a windswept cliff, becomes a refuge for two young evacuees, Will and Alice, in 1939. Against shimmering barley fields and a sky that stretches forever, they experience a childhood largely protected from the ravages of war. However, in the sweltering summer of 1943, a small lie escalates out of all proportion, with tragic consequences that will haunt Alice for decades to come. Seventy years later, her granddaughter Lucy returns to this same childhood home, fleeing the mistakes and heartaches of her own life. As she struggles to rebuild herself and the family farm, she must also help her grandmother confront a long-held secret and find lasting peace. This novel explores themes of identity, belonging, guilt, and atonement, set against the backdrop of a beautiful, desolate, and complex place.
