Description
Evelyn Atkins and her sister Babs embarked on an unexpected adventure when they bought an island off Cornwall. After years of leading a humdrum life in suburban Surrey, Evelyn's early retirement from her demanding job gave the sisters the freedom to pursue their dream.
With the money they scraped together, they purchased the island, which became a new home for them. This unusual story explores the challenges and joys that came with this unconventional lifestyle.
This book offers a unique glimpse into the lives of two women who took a chance on a new life and found it in the unlikeliest of places - an island off Cornwall.
