The location and the cottage and farm in this story is fictional but that doesn’t detract from the wonderful evocative atmosphere of a cottage which plays such an important role in the lives of three women across the years.
We time travel through 1945 to 1952, 1960 and 2014 -but everything comes back to Seaview Cottage. What role does the cottage play in a mother’s life? What links its past and present? What will Seaview finally reveal the truth that has remained hidden for so long?
