Alexa has just turned 18 and has desires beyond her anticipated marriage with Harvey. Indeed at her Birthday Ball she spurns his marriage proposal.
Going back 6 years we meet a simpler Alexa. Content to play on the beach at Porthdeen with her best friend, Harvey. Just what adventures they will have together will unfold but, for now, they are scuppered by Alexa's family who have plans to take her to visit Nonna so she will be separated from her friend.
The writing style is evocative ad the scenery blazes from the page, the characters printed on top in lively fashion. Set in the 1920s and 1930s it is a world far enough away that it seems "quaint" and yet close enough to be modern.
