Publisher's Synopsis
Madge was only four years old when she fell in love with Cornish sea. Somehow, at that moment, she knew she would always return to St.Ives and that all the major events of her life would happen there. It was there she and her mother went to recover from a heart-rending family tragedy; there she was forced reluctantly into marriage and there she fell into a wild and passionate wartime love. It was there she saw her children grow and love and cope with the secret legacies the years had left them, until finally they became more than just summer visitors. This is the story of a remarkable woman and the family she held together.
