2025: One house. One husband. Two women. Someone is lying.
Eden Fox, an artist on the brink of her big break, sets off for a run before her first exhibition. When she returns to the home she recently moved into – Spyglass, an enchanting old house in the pretty seaside village of Hope Falls – nothing is as it should be. Her key doesn’t fit. A woman, eerily similar to her, answers the door. And her husband insists that this stranger is his wife.
Six months earlier, a reclusive Londoner named Birdy, reeling from a life-changing diagnosis, inherits Spyglass. This unexpected gift from a long-lost grandmother brings her to Hope Falls. But then Birdy stumbles upon a shadowy London clinic that claims to be able to predict a person’s date of death, including her own. Secrets start to unravel and, as the line between truth and lies blurs, Birdy feels compelled to right some old wrongs.
Cornwall
Fictional Feeney locations here! Or are they….
Well, Saltwater Gallery and Smugglers Inn are both in Hope Falls and are all fictional, Blackmoor National Park is also fictional but this is rural Cornwall and that is very well evoked with the cottage and the surrounding country lanes.
After reading this, your head will feel as if you’ve been speeding round those country lanes 😉
