Items related to Winterton Blue
For the last twenty years, Lewis has been haunted by his brother’s death. He’s tried hiding from it, running from it, even erasing it from his memory, but the relentless ghost of Wayne confronts him at every turn. Then he meets Anna, a young woman who is also haunted - by her mother, Rita, a vivacious spirit who, unlike Wayne, happens to be very much alive. Rita is the exact opposite of her daughter: loud, carefree, and a daredevil. At seventy-six, she still runs a guesthouse on the coast and has a boyfriend, Vernon, a retired actor and bon vivant. Together they make a formidable pair, living life as if every day might be their last. Anna would be happy for them, if not for the memory of her late father, a reserved and careful man. Into this precarious environment of carousing, music hall turns, and cocktails, stumbles Lewis, on a quest to find the person he believes is to blame for the death of his brother. He immediately recognizes a kindred spirit in Anna, and she in him, but at first both are too headstrong to admit that they are susceptible to falling in love. Against the backdrop of the Norfolk coast, with its massive skies and relentless seas, they finally learn to trust each other, and accept that an uncertain future can be as wild and alluring as the landscape they have grown to love.

About the Author:
Trezza Azzopardi was born in Cardiff. She is a graduate of the creative writing school at the University of East Anglia. She is the author of Remember Me and The Hiding Place, a national bestseller and Man Booker Prize finalist. Azzopardi lives in Norwich, England.
From AudioFile:
From vivacity to dourness, the tone of Michael Page's presentation must change within individual paragraphs as he narrates this story of entangled families and unlikely romance. When Lewis happens upon an English bed-and-breakfast run by the exuberant Rita, he meets her visiting daughter, Anna--whose soul is just as tangled as his. He is trying to come to terms with the death of his twin brother years before in a car accident caused by a local punk. Page moves deftly from Rita's bombastic beau, a former vaudevillian, to gruff Manny, a supportive figure in Lewis's life. Azzopardi's surreal story travels through time, and Page's telling makes the transitions clear. D.P.D. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
