Summary
The next gloriously uplifting, escapist, historical read from ‘the queen of the contemporary Cornish novel’ (Guardian)
As one of the Navy's most skilled mapmakers, Merry knows that lives depend on her work in the War Office. But when a family crisis draws her back to her beloved Cornwall, she finds herself working alongside Jake, an enigmatic American officer, on secret operations spanning the rugged coasts of Cornwall and Brittany which she knows so well.
As rumours and suspicion swirl around her family, Merry is increasingly drawn to Jake, despite the defences she's built around her heart. It's a dangerous time to fall in love; the tides of war are rising and there is everything to lose…
The award-winning author Liz Fenwick returns with a glorious, sweeping novel full of intrigue and passion.

Loved this book
I really enjoyed listening to this book. I really liked the characters and it kept me guessing how it would end. I was surprised at the ending. My best book this year. Several months on and I still think about it. I’ll be listening to it again soon.

Absolutely brilliant - a 'must - read'
For me this is Liz Fenwick's best book yet. Loved how the story was narrated in first person, the narrators were excellent throughout. Very interesting history of the role of map makers and special operations during the war. I was hooked from the start and couldn't stop. More stories like this please !

Wonderful story and so well narrated - thank you
I absolutely love the journey around the Helford and love the references to the railway stations in Praze and Gwinear, obviously Liz knows Cornwall 👍 A fabulous history lesson on war time Cornwall - I loved every word because the narrator is so engaging.
I would recommend this book to anyone 😍
