I received an advance review copy for free thanks to NetGalley and Aria and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Blurb
A heartwarming and uplifting new novel, perfect story for fans of Sally Page and Hazel Prior.
Melody spends her days combing the shore for items washed up on her beach. She collects them in her basket and takes them back to Spindrift, her weathered little bungalow overlooking the sea, and weaves stories about her treasures.
Everything Melody thinks she could ever need is right where she is, cupped by the rocks that shape her bay. But Melody has been keeping a secret…
When she learns that her little corner of Devon is under threat from developers looking to modernise the strip of coast on which Spindrift stands, Melody realises she is about to lose all she has ever known. Is it time for her to tell her own story - a story of love, loss, secrets and lies?
My Opinion
This is a well-written tale of love, loss and hope. This is the first book I have read by Phyllida, but this was such a moving tale that I am glad I gave it a go. The story is told in different parts, through Melody's life, and it was amazing to read about Melody as she developed as a character. There is a lot to unpack as we follow Melody's life, so ensure you have plenty of time when you start reading this, you might not put it down.
Rating 4/5
