ABOUT THE BOOK Against the beauty of Cornwall, a story of two women struggling with their past: one cannot remember hers, the other cannot forget... When Hebe receives a life-changing diagnosis at only 53, she struggles to make sense of what it will mean for her, her job and the man she loves. With memories slipping away by the day, she flees to the one place she has always felt safe and peaceful - Cornwall, and the house her family spent so many summers in. Lucy is having her own crisis, and seizes the chance to follow her aunt to Cornwall. Curious about what has driven Hebe there after so many years, she also has to battle with the secret she has kept since her family's last summer there more than ten years ago. Both women will learn that memories live in our hearts and that sharing secrets can set you free... But can they find their way back to the things that are truly important to them? MY REVIEW ONE CORNISH SUMMER by Liz Fenwick is a beautifully atmospheric and emotional story of family, love, and recognising the important things in life. Hebe can no longer ignore her failing health but as she struggles with what is to become of her and those she loves, a chance image in a newspaper spurs her to return to Cornwall, the one place which has always felt like home to her. Lucy, her niece, is also going through changes in her life and when she needs to disappear for a little while. following her Aunt to Cornwall seems like a good idea. But the old house in Cornwall doesn't hold the same peaceful memories as it does for her Aunt, and Lucy will have to face the past if she is ever to be happy. Wonderfully detailed with exquisite settings, ONE CORNISH SUMMER by Liz Fenwick is the emotional tale of two women who must face up to what is happening and has happened, in their lives, if they are ever to move on. While there are certainly parts of this story which will make you shed a tear, there are also lovely moments of laughter, hope, and love to brighten up the way. The characters are engaging and compelling as they always are in a Liz Fenwick novel, but I really had a soft spot for Hebe who I just wanted to hug so much. With secrets, drama, and the stunning scenery of Cornwall as a backdrop, ONE CORNISH SUMMER by Liz Fenwick is another superb story from a master of the writing craft and I cannot wait for more from Liz.
