Our Castle by the Sea /

In this haunting and compelling follow-up to the instant classic The Secret of Nightingale Wood. Lucy Strange takes a seafaring myth and grounds it in the stark reality of World War II.

Growing up in a lighthouse, 11-year-old Pet's world has been one of storms, secret tunnels, and stories about sea monsters. But now the country is at war and the clifftops are a terrifying battleground. Pet will need to muster all her bravery to uncover why her family is being torn apart.

This is the story of a girl who is afraid and unnoticed. A girl who freezes with fear at the enemy planes ripping through the skies overheard. A girl who is somehow destined to become part of the strange, ancient legend of the Daughters of Stone.

REVIEW

★ "Strange follows her impressive debut The Secret of Nightingale Wood in great style here, in a rich and atmospheric historical novel. Her lyrical prose is combined with a thrilling, intricately plotted mystery, while the legend of the stones adds a mesmerising sense of the fantastical." - THE BOOKSELLER
★ "Strange… sets up her story powerfully. She ends with a twist and gives us a real sense of how war and other people's suspicions can be contagious and fracture the strongest family unit." - THE TIMES
★ "Both an exciting thriller and a thoughtful examination of how appearances can be deceptive and how dangerous this is in the suspicious, rumour-driven atmosphere of war… Underpinned by the legend of a sea monster, this is a rewarding read." - THE MAIL
★ "This atmospheric Second World War tale has a touch of fantasy… As much fairy tale as historical fiction." - THE TELEGRAPH
★ "A thrilling Second World War story about belonging and betrayal." - THE GUARDIAN
