I'm offering up to 20 copies of Not the End by Kate Vane for review in mobi or pdf format.

The blurb:

There’s a summer heatwave in Dormouth, the Devon seaside town and former home of the artist Hugh Bonnington.

No one pays much attention to octogenarian sea swimmer Maud Smith, recently arrived from Portugal. But when she drowns and her body is washed up on the beach, she changes the lives of three people she never met.

Brenda, insomniac dog walker, finds Maud’s body and loses a husband.

Jim, reluctant heir hunter and committed birdwatcher, thinks he’s found love, if he can only escape London.

Philosopher-drunk Neil, the cemetery manager, plans Maud’s funeral then finds that art has a funny way of interfering with life.

With wry humour and sharp observation, Not the End is a contemporary novel about love, loss and the therapeutic possibilities of knitting.
