Head of Zeus are delighted to be offering 5 paperbacks of The Storyteller By The Sea by Phyllida Shrimpton to 3 reading groups.

‘Uplifting and delightful, you will be hooked from the very first page.’ Faith Hogan

A heartwarming and uplifting new novel, perfect story for fans of Sally Page and Hazel Prior.

Melody spends her days combing the shore for items washed up on her beach. She collects them in her basket and takes them back to Spindrift, her weathered little bungalow overlooking the sea, and weaves stories about her treasures.

Everything Melody thinks she could ever need is right where she is, cupped by the rocks that shape her bay. But Melody has been keeping a secret…

When she learns that her little corner of Devon is under threat from developers looking to modernise the strip of coast on which Spindrift stands, Melody realises she is about to lose all she has ever known. Is it time for her to tell her own story – a story of love, loss, secrets and lies?

If you would like a chance to read Phyllida Shrimpton’s The Storyteller By The Sea for your reading group in exchange for providing a review on retailer sites such as Amazon UK and Waterstones please email Amy using the contact details below.
