2000s: Moving back to the countryside from London is not the ideal scenario for someone trying to escape their past
Summer with my Sister
What you need to know before your trail
Polly and Claire are like chalk and cheese. Whilst Polly has been living the highlife in London, drinking cocktails and enjoying the trappings of success, her sister Clare has struggled as a single mum with two children in a lovely yet ramshackle house. The two sisters, as well as poles apart, are barely on speaking terms.
However something happens to make Polly return to their childhood village as she has no money and no where else left to go. Living with Claire. Two women, two sisters who seem to have nothing in common but who may find that new opportunities seem to take them in very unexpected directions
Travel Guide
Elderchurch
Elderchurch is sadly fictional but you can get the train via Basingstoke according to the book. The village and home where Polly returns to Amberley in Sussex which does seem to exist.
Elderchurch is nice little place – quiet and quaint and the cottages ramshackle but to Polly, use to the glitz of London, she thinks that her childhood village might not be the place for her:
“She imagined her skin breaking out in hives. I am allergic to the countryside she thought wryly. Living in Elderchurch for the summer was absolutely going to finish her off”
Maybe she shouldn’t call Elderchurch a ‘poxy place’ she admits.It’s this village after all that she’s known as a child that would be the setting for some very big changes for both sisters.
