Genevra

A psychological ghost story reminiscent of Daphne du Maurier; Christine Elford gives up her life in London for a simpler and more rewarding one in a beautiful house overlooking a remote Cornish bay. But before long she begins to feel that she does not have the house to herself, and uncovers a tragedy dating back to the trauma of the First World War. A subtle and moving tale, in which the story Christine uncovers is deftly interwoven with the her own anxieties about the choices she has made. Astute psychological characterisation is made dramatic by a heart-wrenching tale of lives torn apart by war, and by a Cornish scenery that is atmospherically evoked.
