by TessaHainsworth (Author)
Having given up a high-powered job and the lifestyle to match, Tessa Hainsworth had no idea how hard she would struggle when, full of optimism, she fulfilled her dream of moving to rural Cornwall with her young family one September. In the first book "Up With the Larks Tessa" charted her first turbulent year with the "Royal Mail", and her transformation from outsider to 'Posh Postie', adopted Cornishwoman and much-loved member of her new community. In "Seagulls in the Attic" Tessa is now a pillar of the community, or so she thinks. Life is becoming hard for her and her family as they realise that being part of a small community is not quite the idyll she had been lead to believe, as lack of money and the demands of family life take their toll. But, as with the first book, Tessa finds the fun and resilience to turn all the hardships to her advantage - eventually. It is rapidly becoming a must-read book for all those who hanker for an escape to the country.
