Travel Guide
Cornwall
Fictional Summerhill between Helston and Portsmouth (c) Google
The locations in this novel are vague and the main one Summerhill is fictional. The author explains the corner of the world she writes about is the most stunning and magical places she knows and if Summerhill did exist then it would be some where between Helton and Plymouth.
Hangman’s Bluff is also fictional but there are many beautiful coves to explore and name for yourself.
Cornwall during the war was a tricky time and ships and planes would be found burned out, soldiers would be found injured or dead and all the while, the planes were circling overhead. Women had to be strong.
In the present day, a story about domestic violence plays out showing an additional journey of strength a character must go on.
