A mesmerising, elegiac mix of meditation and memoir * Saga Magazine * Beth Lynch is a gifted writer * Gardens Illustrated * Lynch writes lyrically about the natural world * DAILY MAIL * A beautiful memoir. I loved the literary and historical layerings to the narrative . . . a delightful sense of tension, even jeopardy -- JAMES CANTON Much like reading Where the Hornbeam Grows, I was continually taken aback by the skill and nuance of [ Lynch's] observations - how vividly, beautifully and of course lyrically she conjured both the scenery and atmosphere of every place in the book, not least the cove itself. The Cove also brought freshly and sharply to mind the physical places that have been anchors in my own life, highlighting elements I'd not thought about, as only the good books manage to do . . . This is a book that stays with you and widens your perception of how people and place intertwine -- MATT COLLINS, author * FOREST *
