It's horrid here !

Jocasta Bell is thirty-eight, freshly divorced, and has traded a five-bedroom house in Guildford for a damp fisherman's cottage in Porthgarrow - a Cornish village where everybody already knows your business before you've worked out how to tell it yourself.She didn't come here looking for love. She came because the divorce settlement bought a cottage and a shoebox flat back home, and the shoebox seemed worse.Then there's Jago: twice married, endlessly gossiped about, infuriatingly good at mending nets and even better at making her laugh flat on her back in a boat full of bilge water. He comes with a village's worth of opinions attached. She comes with twenty years of being told good girls don't want things loudly.Between an ex-husband who isn't quite finished with her, a postmistress running odds on how long it'll last, and a father who once taught Jago that leaving is easier than staying, Porthgarrow has no shortage of ways to prove the locals right: it really is horrid here.It might also be exactly where she's supposed to be.
