Maeve wanted Cheryl’s job, and Oliver resisted the idea of a job at all, unless it was something of which everyone else disapproved. Four-year-old Candy only wanted to be a bridesmaid – anybody’s bridesmaid. The gypsy at the fair said You choose – oh, and watch your step as you do it!

'The author's strength is the combining of believable characters, fascinating storyline and truly brilliant dialogue - in fact, story telling at its best.' Lesley Costello; 'The Nankervis sequence has become a substantial body of work and as all such series should, can be read separately and then enjoyed all over again with the extra pleasure of piecing characters and events together.' Susan Sallis; '... 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.' Ben Gavan

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.
