Launch of 'A Cornish Stranger'


Organising a launch party for your book is not easy and can be nerve-racking for the author, but attending someone else’s is pure fun! And there’s no one better at hosting unusual and interesting launch parties than our very own Liz Fenwick.

On Thursday, Liz’s latest book, A CornishStranger, was released into the world, and it was given a party with real style.  We were served Pimm’s (a very British summer drink), nibbles and Cornish clotted cream ice cream in various flavours, which was truly delicious.  Then we were treated to some live opera singing, courtesy of a very talented young lady, and a reading from the book which drew you in, making you want to start on it immediately!

Now all I need is some free time in which to tackle my TBR pile …

Everything is fine until a handsome stranger arrives in a storm, seeking help.  Fin has been left a family legacy: a delicate watercolour of a cabin above the creek which leads him to this beautiful stretch of Cornish water.  As Fin begins to pick at the clues of the painting, he is drawn into the lives of Gabe and Jaunty, unravelling a remarkable story of identity and betrayal …
