Cornwall. 1880. Pearl, Jack and Nicholas play among the fishing
boats of Skommow Bay, not understanding the undercurrents beneath
their games. As they grow older, the choices they make shape the
pattern of their lives. 1936 and everything has changed. The fish
have stopped coming and the Pilchard Palace is abandoned. Pearl,
exiled in favour of holidaymakers, turns to the memory of her great
love, and her greatest loss. She's waiting for her own visitor.
Will he come for her? The sea's ghosts are stirring. The past can
be more alive than the present...The fictional village in which the
novel is set is based on St Ives. The Visitor is a novel steeped in
the coast and people of Cornwall. It shivers and flashes with
visions as elusive as the fish at the centre of its story.
