An uncanny, startlingly beautiful story collection steeped in the
Cornish landscape, from the award-winning author of Diving Belles
and Other Stories and Weathering. At the very edge of England,
where the Atlantic Ocean meets the land and visitors flock in with
the summer like seagulls, there is a Cornwall that is not shown on
postcards. It is a place where communication cables buzz deep
beneath the sand; where satellite dishes turn like flowers on
clifftops, and where people drift like flotsam, caught in eddying
tides. Restless children haunt empty holiday homes, a surfer
struggles with the undertow of family life, a girl watches her
childhood spin away from her in the whirl of a night-time
fairground and, in a web of sea caves, a brother and sister search
the dark for something lost. These astonishing, beguiling stories
of ghosts and shifting sands, of static caravans and shipwrecked
cargo, explore notions of landscape and belonging, permanence and
impermanence, and the way places can take hold and never quite let
go.
