Why read it?

1 author picked Sea-Change as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

A heroic poem woven around the tides and spires of North Norfolk.

Jess Streeting tells her own story of returning as an adult to Cawston in Norfolk and remembering fun-filled childhood days with her father, an inspirational vicar, in the mid-70s. One single terrible event ripped her father away from her, and only now is she confronting what happened. There are shy girls, smart lads, and a great hammer beam church roof with carved angels.

The foreword is by one of those smart boys, Sir Stephen Fry.

From Caroline's list on capturing the magic of Norfolk, UK.
