'A book that stays with you and widens your perception of how people and place intertwine' MATT COLLINS

For over five decades, Beth Lynch has been repeatedly drawn to a rocky spot on the North Cornwall coast, where her earliest memories are rooted in idyllic family holidays. Following the deaths of her parents, strange occurrences around the cove leave Lynch questioning how well she truly knows this place of slate that so irresistibly calls to her. Why has it become so unsettling? Is she safer staying away?

Through encounters with quarrymen, wartime women and an enigmatic archaeologist - along with JMW Turner, Tennyson, Trollope and the Hardys - The Cove reflects lyrically on change: in ourselves, in places and in the transformative dance between the two.

Beth Lynch grew up in Sussex. She holds a doctorate in seventeenth-century literature, and taught English at Cambridge University before training in garden design. For several years she lived and gardened in Switzerland, the subject of her first book Where the Hornbeam Grows (Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2019). She now lives in Northamptonshire.
