Organising a launch party for your
book is not easy and can be nerve-racking for the author, but attending someone
else’s is pure fun! And there’s no one
better at hosting unusual and interesting launch parties than our very own Liz
Fenwick.
On Thursday, Liz’s latest book, A CornishStranger, was released into the world, and it was given a party with
real style. We were served Pimm’s (a
very British summer drink), nibbles and Cornish clotted cream ice cream in
various flavours, which was truly delicious.
Then we were treated to some live opera singing, courtesy of a very
talented young lady, and a reading from the book which drew you in, making you
want to start on it immediately!
Now all I need is some free time in which
to tackle my TBR pile …

Many thanks to Liz for a very
enjoyable evening and I wish her and A
Cornish Stranger huge success!
A
Cornish Stranger:-
There’s
an old Cornish saying: “Save a stranger from the sea, he’ll turn your enemy …”
When
her reclusive grandmother becomes too frail to live alone, Gabriella Blythe
moves into the remote waterside cabin on Frenchman’s Creek which has been her
grandmother’s home for decades. Once a
celebrated artist, Jaunty’s days are coming to a close, but she is still
haunted by events in her past, particularly the sinking of the Lancasteria during the
war.
Everything
is fine until a handsome stranger arrives in a storm, seeking help. Fin has been left a family legacy: a delicate
watercolour of a cabin above the creek which leads him to this beautiful
stretch of Cornish water. As Fin begins
to pick at the clues of the painting, he is drawn into the lives of Gabe and
Jaunty, unravelling a remarkable story of identity and betrayal …
