Fern Britton is a celebrated TV presenter in England ... and Cornwall is a celebrate summer getaway.
Each year, the Carew sisters embark on their yearly trip to the family holiday home, Atlantic House, set on a picturesque Cornish cliff.
Prudence, the hard-nosed businesswoman, is married to the meek and mild Francis, but she’s about to get a shock reminder that you should never take anything for granted. Constance, loving wife to philandering husband Greg, has always been outwitted by her manipulative sibling, but this year she’s finally had enough.
When an old face reappears on the scene, years of simmering resentments reach boiling point, but little do the women know that a long-buried secret is about to bite them all on the bottom. Is this one holiday that will push them all over the edge, or can Constance and Pru leave the past where it belongs?

The library is definitely one of my favorite summer escapes! I am there all the time. I also like to head out to our bay and bring a book, find a shady spot, and enjoy reading near the water.

No summertime escapes for me, especially since we opened the store last year.
ReplyDeleteI love going to the library. However, my favorite escape is to go home to England for a visit.
ReplyDeleteDisneyland is my favorite escape. I love how I can be a kid, eat what I want and wear a silly hat. I always get minnie ears and my husband and I have a great time.
ReplyDeleteAny place cool! I don't like the heat.
ReplyDeleteLibrary, yes, if only it were in Greece.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby's family's lakeside cottage in northern Michigan.
