The Bench by Cromer Beach

Description

Five people in a sleepy English coastal town. One year that changes everything.

They seem to have it all. Living in a pleasant and comfortable town, they are in fine health, are financially secure and have fulfilling friendships. But as their lives intertwine, cracks emerge and restlessness grows.

For Clive, is retirement the beginning of the end? Can fun-loving Saskia break free from her adulterous husband? Will Andy marry his childhood sweetheart? Is Jamie prepared to change his dishonest ways? Might Ellie’s happy marriage be shattered by temptation?

Heartwarming and heartbreaking collide in this novel about aspirations, expectations and the realities of everyday life.

“I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. It’s gossipy, engaging, and well-structured for maximum entertainment.” —Adele Geras, Author
