1 post | 1 read

As the nineteenth century draws to a close, Alice arrives at Dungeness to become school teacher at the local school. She is expecting a seaside village with a promenade, sandy beaches and, at the very least, pavements. Instead, she finds herself on a desolate, windswept, shingle headland unlike any place she has ever been. All too soon, she stumbles upon a dying woman and is haunted by her inability to help her. Not knowing who to trust and trapped within the inhospitable landscape, Alice is determined to find out who the woman was and what had happened to her

Secrets of the Shingle | Emma Batten

I really enjoyed this book. I live locally to the story setting and it is really interesting to read about how people lived in places I frequent today. Dungeness is still a world apart from any other sea side town. A real insight into how hard it must have been to live there over 100 years ago. A good story which leaves you wanting to find out more about the Alice.
