Fringe worthy read: The Secret of Creek Cottage, Tina M Edwards


Creeking the plot:

1916: While the Great War rages through Europe, in the small coastal village of Trunrowan, Cornwall, life for Loveday Nance could not be more different. With her husband Will away fighting, the reality of having a longed-for child of her own seems to be slipping away with each day that passes.


Present-day: Kitty and Ben Gridley decide to leave their busy lives in Bristol hoping for a quieter way of life in the pretty village of Trunrowan, Cornwall. Little do they realise the impact that moving into Creek Cottage will have on them. When Kitty begins to experience strange things happening at the cottage, she is certain there is a secret harboured within its stone walls.


'The Secret of Creek Cottage' is a tale that follows the lives of two families, almost a century apart.


Bobs and Books honest review:


Being Cornish, I thought I had little to nothing left to learn about Cornwall, and I am delighted to say that this book proved me wrong. Not only did I learn about past traditions, and lifestyles within it, this story is so cleverly told with a dual timeline that so cleverly intertwines. I think its fair to say that I liked both times equally, unusually not having a favourite.


The chapters are very short and sharp which means its not difficult to fly through this read with definite eagerness to know more. A captivating read.
