We all build our lives on some form of
deception known only to ourselves; it is how we
survive and our secrets are rarely exposed.
Claire Bentley, a wealthy and successful
business woman has concealed her secrets for thirty years. Now, recently
widowed, she is persuaded, against her better judgement, to join her daughter,
Krystina, on a holiday in Cornwall. Soon, unforeseen events bring back the
memories and terror of her last holiday in Cornwall and she is forced to
confront her past.
Again, Claire flees from ‘that cursed land
full of promise and desolation.’ Once home, she feels compelled to write her
story, while clinging to the hope that no one will ever need to read it.
Why has she hidden the truth for thirty
years? And how much does Krystina know about her mother?
The
Returning Tide is a dark, disturbing story of loss
and deception, time and identity.
Now available on Amazon as an ebook Amazon ebook and paperback Amazon paperback.
