Meet Me on the Beach by Hilary Boyd

Meet Me on the Beach by Hilary Boyd

Where do you run when your heart's breaking all the rules? When pillar-of-the-community Harry Stewart dies of a sudden heart attack, the whole village is devastated - except for his wife Karen, the only one who really knew the abusive alcoholic Harry had become. Suddenly freed from this oppressive marriage, Karen is nonetheless wracked with guilt about the circumstances of her husband's death, and sees the presence of her spoiled step-daughter, Sophie, as a suitable purgatory. Her only comfort in her grief and isolation is William, the sympathetic local vicar. As Karen shares her secret, William's listening ear soon becomes a shoulder to cry on, and before long Karen realises she is falling in love. But William has a wife and teenaged daughter, not to mention a parish to watch over - and be watched by. As the pressure becomes too much to bear, Karen flees to the seaside and to Mike Best's beach café. But when William suddenly turns up again in her life, can they persuade each other to take one final leap of faith together?

Boyd is as canny as Joanna Trollope at observing family life - and better than Trollope at jokes - Daily Mail

Poignant, well-observed and wonderfully written.. a heartstring-puller - Closer (on Tangled Lives)

A smart emotional drama, you will race through this - Daily Mirror (on A Most Desirable Marriage)
