  'What Alec needs is another child,' said Phyllis firmly. 'I know,' agreed Laura, 'but I may never be able to have one...' And so Laura, at thirty-seven, undergoes an exploratory operation. To recuperate, she is sent with relatives while her husband - with her blessing - takes his annual fishing holiday in Scotland. But even in as gracious a house as Tremenheere - on the very tip of Cornwall, just minutes from the brilliant, sparkling sea - the prospect of two weeks alone with her husband's people is a very daunting one. For Laura has never really believed that she quite fits in, has never felt truly free of the unseen presence of Alec's first wife and the daughter who never replies to his letters...

  Laura, newly married and ever conscious she may be living in the shadow of her husband Alec's first wife, decides to take a holiday with his family in Cornwall. Through the long hot summer days she is slowly charmed by the beautiful old house and the people she learns to know and love. In time her uneasy spirit is soothed by the sparkling, brilliant sea, and her restless heart finally calmed.

  But is this new-found tranquillity too good to be true? For with the arrival of an anonymous letter, one accusing her of having an affair, Laura's world is thrown into turmoil . . .
