The Bonny Dawn

Product Description

Details: For seventeen-year-old Brid Stevens, the day began with such promise. At four o?clock on a summer morning, her alarm clock roused her from a dream-filled sleep. She had an appointment to keep with Joe Lloyd whom she had met at the weekly dance. On the cliff-top at Stockwell Hill, overlooking the sea, they were to watch the sun come up. But upon her return home, where she lived with her parents & her brother, all hell was let loose. Harry Palmer was also there, fresh from telling his tale of the lovers? tryst he said he had witnessed. Brid & Joe, he claimed, had spent the night together, there on the cliff-top. What was to occur after that would bring the day to a horrifying end, as family & friends of all concerned displayed their prejudices & made their own judgements. The events of this powerful novel, set on the Northumbrian coast in the 1960s, take place over one day, a period during which everyone involved discovers that the consequences of an innocent meeting between two young people are far more significant than the event itself. Ideal for: Fans of contemporary fictions books & fans of novels by Catherine Cookson. This paperback book has 251 pages & measures: 17.7 x 10.5 x 1.7cm
