The Cove

£10.99

For over five decades Beth Lynch has been drawn back, over and again, to a rocky spot on the North Cornwall coast. Her earliest memories of the cove are bound up with idyllic family holidays; as she grows older, however, her sense of connection with the place grows deeper and more complicated. This slippery interface of land and sea – a place of sheer edges and ledges, strange rock formations and eroding, tumbling slate becomes her place of safety from childhood anxiety and school bullying. Around the time of her parents’ deaths, uncanny things start to happen in and around the cove and Lynch is left wondering how well she really knows this place that draws her so ineluctably.

Description

‘A book that stays with you and widens your perception of how people and place intertwine’ MATT COLLINS

For over five decades, Beth Lynch has been repeatedly drawn to a rocky spot on the North Cornwall coast, where her earliest memories are rooted in idyllic family holidays. Following the deaths of her parents, strange occurrences around the cove leave Lynch questioning how well she truly knows this place of slate that so irresistibly calls to her. Why has it become so unsettling? Is she safer staying away?

Through encounters with quarrymen, wartime women and an enigmatic archaeologist – along with JMW Turner, Tennyson, Trollope and the Hardys – The Cove reflects lyrically on change: in ourselves, in places and in the transformative dance between the two.
