Synopsis

A beautifully written novel with great emotional appeal, of family secrets and wartime heritage, sweeping across Cornwall, London and Warsaw.

When Lucy Tremain goes to stay with her grandparents in their house in Cornwall overlooking the sea,she finds family papers hidden in the old cottage. The papers hint at wartime secrets.

From them emerges her grandmother’s story – a hidden story of wartime courage and terrible deprivation. And for three generations of the Tremain family the papers turn their lives upside down: her grandfather Fred, the country doctor who married Martha; Anna, the difficult, determined older child who is Lucy’s mother; and Barnaby, her benevolent, indulgent uncle.

The house opposite the church, overlooking the Cornish coast, is home to three generations of Tremains.

Fred Tremain, the country doctor, came to this beautiful corner of England with his wife Martha. Difficult and determined Anna, their eldest child, is now a successful barrister and their easygoing son Barnaby is a vicar to the parish. Also making her home there is Lucy, their beloved granddaughter.

And it is Lucy whose discoveries of family papers, hidden in the old attics, brings to light the first of the long-hidden secrets. As each layer is unwrapped, the family start to question the price paid for the upheavals caused by violence, wars and prejudice today and yesterday and unlock the way to new relationships and new loves.
