Along Cornwall's ancient coast, the flotsam & jetsam of the past becomes caught in the cross-currents of the present &, from time to time, a certain kind of magic can float to the surface... Straying husbands lured into the sea can be fetched back, for a fee. Magpies whisper to lonely drivers late at night. Trees can make wishes come true
- provided you know how to wish properly first. Houses creak, fill with water & keep a fretful watch on their inhabitants, straightening shower curtains & worrying about frayed carpets. A teenager's growing pains are sometimes even bigger than him. &, on a windy beach, a small boy & his grandmother keep despair at bay with an old white door. In these stories, Cornish folklore slips into everyday life. Hopes, regrets & memories are entangled with catfish, wrecker's lamps, standing stones & baying hounds, & relationships wax & wane in the glow of a moonlit sea. This luminous, startling & utterly spellbinding debut collection introduces in Lucy Wood a spectacular new voice in contemporary British fiction.
