📗 Never go back, they say, but Jan is drawn. In the aftermath of the fire, could she make amends? Let her inner entrepreneur loose? Bring her brand of discipline? Then there was Michael ... and Leo ... and the music, Thirties' music. That, and the essence of the place ... it's history, it's people, it's future. In her impressive debut novel, Kay Earle's story covers a range of contemporary issues, centred on the creation of a replacement building for the barn - the one where Vic had been involved in another of his nefarious schemes, she guessed. Set in an historic part of Sussex, the story ebbs and flows as do the tides in Chichester harbour - and grabs the emotions.
