A coastal drama of loss, duty, and forgiveness unfolds along a windswept Cornwall shore in this intimate, character-driven tale.
In the wake of a family tragedy, a woman learns what love and responsibility mean when the past refuses to stay hidden. The book follows a network of spirited characters as they navigate grief, loyalty, and the cost of atonement.
On a cliff‑coast where memory and hardship press close, the lives of Wilmot Borlace and her companions intertwine with duty, desire, and the ache of unspoken truths. As they confront personal failures and hard choices, the narrative moves between intimate rooms and public places—home, church, and the bustling harbor—to reveal how resilience and stubborn hope shape ordinary people into something harder and more true.
What you’ll experience
Ideal for readers who enjoy thoughtful literary fiction anchored in social realism and a strong sense of place.

Excerpt from The Wingless Victory
What comes over me, said Tryphena, is that a maid like you should ha' been found to commit matrimony with 'en. Whiskers and that, like a day-cat that's been after cream, and you not such a bad-looking maid after all. When you don't dress up a proper old fright.
But, protested Mrs. Borlace, he shaved 03 the whiskers before he proposed.
It isn't so much, answered Tryphena, dogmatically, what a man is that matters; it's the way you happen to see fen. N ow, I never think of Dr. Borlace but what I see whiskers, though there mayn't be none to his face at the minute. But there, 'twas written down above against your name, Dr. Anthony Borlace, and no maid can go against that.
