A Cornish Summer
What you need to know before your trail
someone else for the past fifteen . . .
Now she’s been invited to spend the summer in the shady lanes and sandy coves of Cornwall. It should be blissful.
There’s just one small snag: she’ll be staying with her former mother-in-law, Belinda.
And Flora discovers she’s not the only one invited when her ex-husband shows up out of the blue, complete with his new wife. So now there are two small snags.
Can Flora spend the summer playing happy families with the woman who stole her husband’s heart, and the mother-in-law who might have had a hand in it?
Or will stumbling on the family secret change her mind about them all?
Travel Guide
Travel to Cornwall BookTrail style with Catherine Alliott
Flora heads to Cornwall to paint a portrait of her ex-father-in-law with a friend, Cora. Well if Cornwall is not the most exciting place to go and paint and become involved in all things arty! It’s also the place to have time to rest and relax if you can. Not so much the family in this book!
Bellingdon Water – the water company in the novel
The book has several key messages regarding the environment and the so-called ‘sport’ of hunting. Some readers may find this jarring with the beauty of the Cornish setting. The environmental messages regarding plastic, the oceans and saving energy are woven in and out of the pages as you read.
Trewarren Mansion
The large, plush and sadly fictional home of the characters in the novel. Think posh pile, huge stately home with a mix of characters within and you won’t be far wrong. The house is somewhere close to Truro.
