Synopsis

It's 1915: conflict comes ashore, and a girl becomes a woman.



Amy's world is a cold and inhospitable one of treacherous cliffs and lethal tides that can trap the unwary. The hostile villagers think that she doesn't understand much, but she knows more about that coastline than anyone else there.

The unpredictability of the sea brings both loss and discovery into Amy's life that changes it forever. The storm takes the one person she truly loves and yet brings her a stranger that transforms her childhood innocence into the passionate reality of a young woman.

The danger is that the year is 1915, England is at war, and the stranger is German.

À propos de l'auteur

Graham Higson hides in an outlying Pennine village and shares this blustery environment with a growing collection of books, a workshop piled high with offcuts of oak, his understanding wife and one mean mortgage. His two grown-up children are among his best friends.

Having written professionally for over 25 years (and then some, he says), Oak Seer: A supernatural mystery was the first of his published novels, followed by Flither Lass, and his memoir How Much for a Little Screw?

He lists his hobbies as swimming, reading, watching lots of screen drama, helping to republish the novels of Leo Walmsley, and searching for that elusive moment of self-discovery.
