Synopsis
Celebrated by Cathy Rentzenbrink, this glorious rediscovered classic exploring the mystery of a buried Cornish hotel is perfect for Agatha Christie and Daphne du Maurier fans ...
'The miniature charm of a Baby Austen.' Observer
'Tense, touching, human, dire, and funny ... A feast indeed.' Elizabeth Bowen
'Kennedy is not only a romantic but an anarchist.' Anita Brookner
'So full of pleasure that you could be forgiven for not seeing how clever it is.' Cathy Rentzenbrink
'Oh boy, what a treat; wonderfully sharp and funny; I devoured this ... Page-turningly good!' Lissa Evans
Cornwall, Midsummer 1947. Pendizack Manor Hotel is buried in the rubble of a collapsed cliff. Seven guests have perished, but what brought this strange assembly together for a moonlit feast before this Act of God - or Man? Over the week before the landslide, we meet the hotel guests in all their eccentric glory: and as friendships form and romances blossom, sins are revealed, and the cracks widen ...
Reader Reviews:
'Really clever - but readable. Perfect for a sunlounger (in the garden!)'
'One of the best books I have ever read ... Viva Ms. Kennedy, you were truly marvellous!' *****
'The best book I've ever read. Yes, I know that's a big statement! Kennedy is quickly becoming my all-time favorite author ... A first-rate literary genius.' *****
'This is bar none, one of the best books I have ever read.' *****
'A magnificent rediscovery ... Kennedy's masterpiece is a searing and unflinching look at postwar England ... Elegantly and tartly written, this smart and haunting novel offers one of the most unforgettable endings ... A brilliant and moving literary feast to be enjoyed without any moderation! *****
'I'm longing to read this again! Clever Kennedy! Is it a thriller? Is it a morality play or an exploration of divine justice? Or is it a family/village saga and maybe even a romance? ... Terrifically readable with a marvellous cast.' *****
'This isn't just the story of a Cornish summer holiday gone horribly wrong. Kennedy is, in fact, doing something much cleverer and more sophisticated - offering us the chance to solve a very unusual kind of mystery ... An unexpectedly engaging literary game.' ****
'Such a good idea, and brilliantly executed ... I was unable to stop reading, absorbed completely in the company of the motley group. It's almost like you're eavesdropping on them. After finishing it, I find myself still thinking about it ... A fabulous read.' *****
'One of my favorite kinds of books: a forgotten treasure. The writing is exemplary ... Many, many fine moments.' *****
