Why a Booktrail?
2000s: Reflections of a life lived so far, and the one still to come…
Reflections
What you need to know before your trail
After her husband dies, Cara no longer wishes to live in their London home. On impulse, she sells it and goes to stay with her brother in Salcombe, Devon, while she plans her next move. There, she begins to look back at her life and reflect on the choices that have led her to this moment.
Cosmo has also escaped – temporarily – from his life in the city, finding the south-west a relaxing and appealing fit, especially when he meets local girl, Amy. But is he being entirely truthful about what he’s left behind?
Just out of uni, Sam has passed the Admiralty Interview Board and is set to follow in his naval father’s footsteps. His future is secure – but he feels cast adrift. With doubts and loosening family connections worrying him, an impartial new friend could be just the thing he needs. Forging a bond across the generations, can he and Cara help each other find the way to a new, happy chapter?
Travel Guide
Reflections of Salcombe, Devon BookTrail style
What a wonderful way to explore Salcombe, Devon!
“Outside the house in Buckely Street, Cara closes the front door quietly behind her, crosses the road and goes quickly down the flight of stone steps beside the Forestescue Inn. Pausing for a moment on the quay, she gazes across the harbour to the smooth sands and wooded coves on the further shore, and then, impulsively, turns and makes her way along Fore Street. At the bottom of the Ferry Steps, the small passenger ferry is already waiting and Cara boards, pays her fare and goes forward to sit in the bows. Several more locals join her on their commute to work, the engine throttles up, and the boat head out across the harbour to East Portlemouth.”
“It’s odd she thinks how being only a few feet away from land seems to bring a sense of freedom, of detachment from realty.
