“The Boathouse collects misfits.
Strange solitary creatures that yearn for contact with the outside world, but
not too much. They sit, glass in hand, either staring at the table in front of
them, or at some distant point on the horizon.”
… so says the narrator of Our Beautiful Child. And
he’s been around long enough to know.
People end up in this town almost by accident. Ella
is running away from her nightmares, Sally is running away from the memories of
previous boyfriends and Rona is running away from university. Each of them seek
sanctuary in the 18th century pub, The Boathouse; but in fact, that’s where
their troubles begin.
Ella finds love, a moment too late; Rona discovers a
beautiful ability which needs refining before she gets hurt; and Sally meets
the captivating Murray, who threatens to ruin everything.
Three women. Three stories. One pub.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I live in Cornwall UK,
with a good supply of beaches and moorland right on my doorstep to keep me
inspired. I live with my husband, two sons, a dog and a cat.
Despite my location,
I neither surf nor sail, and have never had any inclination to try. I much
prefer walking along a deserted beach and listening to the waves crashing over
rocks. For this reason, I really love the beach in the winter!

Awesome cover, Annalisa!
ReplyDeleteI love the way the stories all come together in one book. The boathouse setting sounds like it adds an element of spookiness.
ReplyDeleteWith Annalisa at the helm, there will be twists and turns for certain!
