My Cornish Life

by Sue Bunney

Based in the fishing villages of Mevagissey and Gorran Haven, My Cornish Life invites the reader into a close knit coastal community. Wrecks and smuggling; the campaign to save the famous Dodman Point from becoming part of a firing range and using a Cornish cream tea as a bribe for the media. Discovering the Lost Gardens of Heligan when they were just a wilderness, and the birth of a now famous theatre company, Kneehigh, in a barn on a Cornish cliff top. Meeting the rescued sea gull who fell out of his nest and had to be taught how to fly. Finding a stranded whale, and saving a sick seal pup. The different characters spring from the pages, the ancient fisherman finally disclosing his secret fishing marks, the harbour master spinning his tales of Cornish water buffalo on the beach. Catching the fish of the day and proving that girl power can be useful. Learning to appreciate the changeable moods of the sea, all woven into a humorous story of pride of place, and leading the reader to immerse themselves into a bit of Cornish magic
