The Girl Who Came Home to Cornwall: 5 (Tremarnock) Paperback – Import, 1 May 2020

Emma Burstall . Head of Zeus . English

Escape to the Cornish coast with this irresistible summer read, perfect for fans of Jill Mansell and Philippa Ashley. The Cornish fishing village of Tremarnock seems to have it all. Charming houses cling to the hillside and cluster round the harbour where fishermen unload their catch each day. Everyone knows everyone, and mostly they look out for each other. But throw a stranger – a beautiful stranger – into the mix and all bets are off. Chabela Penhallow arrives for a holiday from Mexico to find out more about her Cornish ancestors. But no sooner has she arrived than rumours start to fly. Why has she really come? And what is she running from? Can the inhabitants of Tremarnock discover her secrets before their peaceful seaside village is thrown into turmoil? Reviews for the Tremarnock series: 'A charming, warm-hearted read... Pure escapism' Alice Peterson. 'Burstall is a great writer, and this is not your usual run-of-the-mill chick lit... I was gripped from the start' Daily Mail. 'The literary equivalent of a gin and tonic on a hot summer's day... A delicious, delightful and decadent tale' Bookish Jottings. 'Burstall has created a little sanctuary, which will have readers eager to book a Cornish holiday as soon as possible... A heart-warming, "feel-good" novel that makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. I can't wait for the next book in the series so that I can return' Bookbag. 'Burstall has a true knack for transporting you to her world, amidst beautiful Cornish countryside' Jane Corry.

About the Author

Hello! I’m delighted to tell you that my newest novel, BESIDE THE TURQUOISE SEA, is OUT NOW! Published by Boldwood Books, it’s the second in my series set in stunning Crete. I'm currently busy writing the third installment, to be published in Feb 2026 (Gosh that sounds a long way off! I bet it comes round quickly, though). I really hope you enjoy my latest offering - a gripping tale of secrets, lies, misunderstandings, friendship, egoism - and love. Nothing is quite as it seems in the beautiful but mysterious holiday home - Villa Ariadne. If you like the book, do please spread the word and maybe write a review. Thank you so much. Every little helps! My previous book is BENEATH THE LEMON TREES, and before that I wrote THE HOUSE ON ROCKAWAY BEACH, where the action takes place on New York's sizzling urban beach. Prior to this, I wrote a series of five Cornish books set in the fictional seaside village of Tremarnock. I've also written The Darling Girls, Never Close Your Eyes and Gym and Slimline. They're very different stories, but all are warm, heartfelt tales about women, love, life, work, relationships and families, so maybe they're not that dissimilar after all. I studied English at Cambridge University before becoming a journalist for local and national newspapers and women's magazines. I live in South West London and have three children and three delicious grandchildren. As well as visiting Cornwall, New York and Crete (of course!) I like reading (a lot), hiking with friends and wild swimming. Show me a stretch of clean looking water on a warm day and I'll be in!
