Guinness and Sangria

Beschreibung

After the death of both her grandparents, Anna Lucia Garcia s life is turned completely upside down. Torn from the only home she has ever known, she is sent away from her ancestral land to attend an English college for young ladies in Madrid. Left behind is her mother, whose cold ambition begins to unfold. With no regard for history or legacy, she sells the family land centuries of cultivation and care erased in an instant. Anna is left heartbroken, lost, and without direction. With nowhere else to turn and no other family to rely on, she is faced with only one possibility: finding the father she has never met. A man who, according to her bitter and estranged mother, lives on a distant and peculiar shore. A place described as always wet, perpetually muddy, and teeming with perverse strangers. Anna is about to discover just how wrong her mother might be, and just how much strength she carries within her.

Autor

Melvyn McHugh was born in a small rural village in Essex. From the age of five, his journey to school passed by a garden centre, an army camp, several fruit orchards and a small village shop. While most boys of his age played football and fighting games, Melvyn would invent stories and then, most often, act them out as the hero or the main character. His after-school activities included collecting lizards and snakes, climbing trees, scrumping and occasionally catching the odd chicken.
