Publisher Description
'A compelling read with a dramatic sense of place and a caring community at its heart' Heidi Swain, Sunday Times bestselling author of A Taste of Home
'A story to make you long to visit our glorious coastlines' Prima
A remote yet beautiful village. A tiny kitchen lunch club. The perfect place to start again.
Anna moves to Crovie, a tiny fishing village on the Moray Firth, for a fresh start. But when she arrives, she realises her new home is really no more than a shed, and the village itself sits beneath a cliff right on the edge of the sea, in constant danger of storms and landslides. Has she made a terrible mistake?
Yet as she begins to learn about the Scottish coast and its people, something she thought she’d lost reawakens in her. She rediscovers her love of cooking, and turns her kitchen into a pop-up lunch club. But not all the locals are delighted about her arrival, and some are keen to see her plans fail.
Will Anna really be able to put down roots in this remote and wild village? Or will her fragile new beginning start to crumble with the cliffs . . . ?
Beautiful, moving and utterly absorbing, The House Beneath the Cliffs is a novel of friendship and food, storms and secrets, and the beauty of second chances
‘A gorgeously remote and romantic great escape, brimming with foodie passion, friendship and heart’ Laura Kemp, author of A Year of Surprising Acts of Kindness
'With a romance that gently simmers, a plot that flows as fast as the North Sea tides, and some gentle reminders of the need to protect our oceans, The House Beneath the Cliffs provides the perfect holiday getaway' Lancashire Post

Heartwarming
A warm, well written, easy to read story of grit, strength, friendship, love and generosity of spirit. All set in a beautiful seascape brought to life so wonderfully, you can almost smell the salt in the sea air. I loved it.
Wow
This is honestly the first book that I’ve read that made me unaware of everything around me. the characters, the strength, the heartache, the joy, imagining the village? This is a must read, the only bad thing was the story came to an end, I would have read it if it had been 5000 pages .
