'More credible than reality TV ... the Nankervis family chronicle has allowed my relationship with this fictitious family to blossom, furnishing me with an understanding of their ways rivalling that of my own kith and kin ...' Cornish World; 'Jane Hatton makes Cornwall into a place that can change the course of lives ...' Susan Sallis; 'Set largely in Cornwall, a county with which the author has had a love affair since she was nine, years old, this is a book whose chapters are much like the sea itself, sometimes calm, sometimes, angry, but always with a wave of emotion rising to the surface ...' Clevedon Mercury

Author Information

Jane Hatton was a child during World War II, and grew up in the unpermissive fifties, when career options for women were largely confined to Secretary, Nurse, Teacher, Physiotherapist. She opted for the first, thinking the skills required would be useful in her preferred career as a writer, but has also worked in hotels, as a sailing instructor, in a craft workshop and as a cookery demonstrator – a remarkably unstructured career – while continuing to write whenever there was a spare moment: sometimes there were not many! She has had two children’s books published in the mainstream (a while ago now), followed by three novels in the genre of “literary fiction”, plus The One Too Awful to Mention – which we don’t mention – and has also independently published a long series about the Nankervis family and their friends and relations, all set in various areas of the West Country. Apart from writing, her interests include sailing, painting – including at one time scenery for the local pantomime – archaeology, photography and cooking. She lives in Cornwall, on her own these days, with a small black cat for company and a background of family and friends.
