About this ebook
On the windswept shores of Cornwall, two heartsick women find an uncommon bond in this WWI historical romance by the author of Flowers for Miss Pengelly.
Cornwall, 1916. Verity Tregorran, one of the local blacksmith’s nine daughters, is finding it hard to hide her long-abiding love for Ned Chegwidden, the boy next door, now serving in the trenches of World War I. But if her parents knew of Verity’s attachment to someone outside the family’s strict Christian sect, they would be horrified.
Loitering on the coastal path one evening, Verity witnesses something suspicious on the cliffs which causes her to fear the involvement of German spies. There’s only one person she can turn to: Effie Dawes, wife of the local police constable, who is now fighting overseas himself. Effie meanwhile has a tragedy of her own to face, as a scandal threatens to rock Verity’s family. But the two unlikely friends remain determined in their efforts to discover what really happened on the cliffs.
