Faith Hogan A heartwarming and uplifting new novel, perfect story for fans of Sally Page and Hazel Prior. Melody spends her days combing the shore for items washed up on her beach. She collects them in her basket and takes them back to Spindrift, her weathered little bungalow overlooking the sea, and weaves stories about her treasures. Everything Melody thinks she could ever need is right where she is, cupped by the rocks that shape her bay. But Melody has been keeping a secret… When she learns that her little corner of Devon is under threat from developers looking to modernise the strip of coast on which Spindrift stands, Melody realises she is about to lose all she has ever known. Is it time for her to tell her own story - a story of love, loss, secrets and lies?
Trade Reviewa felicitous fireside read this is...Of course, secrets have a knack of uncovering themselves.And in the telling of this tale, the author explores disability, unexpressed grief and environmental issues. But ultimately this is an uplit novel and god knows we can do with all do with a bit of that. -- Westmeath Examiner
The most heartwarming late summer read! -- Be Novellic
