What you need to know before your trail

CORFU, GREECE, 1987

On holiday with her grandparents, Sofia Aspioti meets Danny Markson, a charming flirt who makes her laugh. She worries that village gossip will get back to her strict family, but she can’t help falling desperately in love. That’s when strange dreams about Brighton’s West Pier and a woman dressed in black begin to haunt her. Who is this grieving woman? And is she related to Sofia’s feelings for Danny?
BRIGHTON, ENGLAND, 1937

Laura Mayfield arrives in Brighton to pursue a new life. She soon falls for Christian Searle, who works at the West Pier theatre, but there’s also a certain Charles Willard, a wealthy aristocrat, who is fascinated by her and pursues her relentlessly. Will Laura choose love…or money?
The Lady of the Pier trilogy has two timelines that stay unrelated in The Ebb. They begin to merge in The Flow and finally become one story in The Storm.

Travel Guide

Brighton

Laura Mayfield got off the train at Brighton station with a beaming smile on her face.

“The wind blew from the sea and smelled of salt”

“Cousin Meg found life in Brighton to be great fun; she thought it was so refreshing that it made her memories from dreary London feel vague and distant as if they belonged to someone else.”

The West Pier Company is one of the town’s many busy recruiters throughout the year

Corfu

Effrosyni says that she drew heavily from her experiences as a youngster to write this novel. She holidayed in her grandparents’ house in the seaside village of Moraitika, Corfu. The book is a work of fiction but it’s peppered with autobiographical elements.
