Kent Stuart left the West Country town of Redcliffe Bay more than thirty years ago, pursued by the guilt and shame of a scandal that cost him his youth and happiness.
Having led an exciting life as a photographer, Kent now returns to find a town that bears little physical resemblance to the one he left so many years before. Yet in spite of this, memories come flooding back of a young man swept up in a passionate affair with an older woman, which ended in tragedy.
And Kent must decide whether, by revisiting Redcliffe Bay, he can come to terms with the past and start anew.

Mr Delderfield's manner is easy, modest, heartwarming
R F Delderfield is a born storyteller
Sheer, wonderful storytelling
