2000s: Welcome to Roseland, the ancestral home of Eloise
Roseland
What you need to know before your trail
The summers spent at Roseland, the sprawling ancestral home of her best friend, Eloise, were among the happiest of Cathy’s life. Tucked away on the Cornish coastline and brimming with history, Roseland seemed to belong to another century.
Cathy has barely been back since Eloise’s death a decade ago. So she is shocked when Jack, the love of Eloise’s life and father of her children, announces that he is getting married, and that the wedding will take place at Roseland.
As Cathy and Eloise’s family gather at the house for the first time in years, long buried secrets and resentments come to the surface. Nobody likes Jack’s new bride, but is she really the imposter everybody claims, or are they merely haunted by memories of Eloise? And how can Cathy look to the future, when the past refuses to let go?
Travel Guide
The Roseland Cornwall
The Roseland, to give the area its full name, is an area of natural beauty. And for Cornwall, that is saying something!
Its name has nothing to with roses or flowers however – it actually comes from the Cornish word Ros, meaning promontory. And there’s several promontories to choose from, The Dodman at the eastern end, Nare Head overlooking Gerrans Bay and St Anthony Head at the mouth of the Carrick Roads.
The Roseland is a short drive from St Austell and Truro, but you have to drive along a maze of lanes so it’s quite the entrance when you get there.
