Superb. I love Veronica Henry’s books. She is the master of the big cast of characters and this story is no different. But settings this in the 1950s gives this story a timelessness and richness. For me this is her best.

Quotes by Liz Fenwick  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“She had to let go. This was her life now.”
Liz Fenwick, The Cornish House

“There are too many innocent people caught up in man’s greed and need for power over other”
Liz Fenwick, The Secret Shore

“You need to write your own book, the book of your heart and not chase the fads. It truly has to be the story you want to tell, it needs that fire, your fire in it. Then enjoy the time pre-publication. It is time to learn all you can about your craft and the industry. It isn’t a race. Finally listen to your work. I have text to voice software that reads the books to me. Listening I can hear things that I would miss on the page.”
Liz Fenwick

“If only there could be an invention that bottled up a memory, like scent. And it never faded, and it never got stale. And then, when one wanted it, the bottle could be uncorked, and it would be like living the moment all over again.”
Daphne du Maurier, Rebecca

“You should write because you love the shape of stories and sentences and the creation of different words on a page. Writing comes from reading, and reading is the finest teacher of how to write.”
Annie Proulx
