    About this ebook

    Winefred is an absorbing tale set around the chalk cliffs. These pure white cliffs are a stretch of the sea-eroded section of the South Downs range of hills in East Sussex, England. The intriguing characters and storyline along with this fascinating setting make it a charming read.
    Excerpt from Winefred
    "One grey, uncertain afternoon in November, when the vapour-laden skies were without a rent, and the trailing clouds, without a fringe, were passing imperceptibly into drizzle, that thickened with coming night, when the land was colourless, and the earth oozed beneath the tread, and the sullen sea was as lead—on such a day, at such a time of day, a woman wandered through Seaton, then a disregarded hamlet by the mouth of the Axe, picking up a precarious existence by being visited in the summer by bathers."
