“Together we walk along the deserted beach, hugging the edge of the water…”

The Book Fairies have been celebrating the 25th year of Carole Matthews books by hiding copies of A Cottage By The Sea at some great locations!

About the book:

Grace has been best friends with Ella and Flick since university. The late-night chats, shared heartaches and good times have created a bond that has stood the test of time. Now in their thirties, Grace is always a bit disappointed about how little time they get to spend together, so when Ella invites them all to stay for a week in her cottage in South Wales, Grace jumps at the chance to see her old friends. She also hopes that the change in pace will help her reconnect with her husband, Harry. Unfortunately for her, Harry isn’t as enamoured with Cwtch Cottage as she is. Then Flick arrives; loveable, bubbly Flick, accompanied by the handsome and charming Noah, and suddenly the week ahead looks as though it may be even more confusing for all the residents of Cwtch Cottage.

Our book fairies around the coast of the UK found some great spots at which to leave copies of A Cottage By The Sea by Carole Matthews – and we had such a positive reaction online!

Not lucky enough to find one?

A Cottage by the Sea is available from all good book shops, or you can find your copy here on Bookshop.org! This website financially supports independent book shops all over the UK.
