Cornish Fiction at its best - Review of The Sea Between Us by Emylia Hall

Because I love Cornwall, I devour any novel that is set in my adopted county. I have just finished this beautiful novel by Emylia Hall and if you love Cornish fiction too, I think you will love this.

 

 

 

 

This is the first novel I have read by this author and it certainly won’t be the last. I was blown away by her beautiful, lyrical and descriptive writing.  She had me captivated with the story of Robyn and Jago from the first page to the very last, as they both set off on their journey of self discovery. 

For me Emylia Hall captured the wild and tempestuous Cornish coast in the most atmospheric way. Her vivid descriptions of the unpredictability and beauty of the sea had the waves washing over me as I read.  I could feel the sand between my toes and taste the salt on my lips with every chapter she spent in her remote Cornish cove.  Her account of early motherhood ranks amongst some of the most tender and heartfelt prose I have ever read. In short this novel was a joy to read.
