Water, Stone, Heart / Will North 140 p.

Recently divorced Andrew Stratton does something out of character, signs up for a course on mortarless stone-wall building in Boscastle, Cornwall England. Once there he befriends his landlord's daughter Lilly, a precocious 10-year old with depth of knowledge about Boscastle and it's surrounds. His ex's parting salvo motivates him to embrace this change, he falls in love with the area and its people. Though the slow growing romance between Andrew and also divorced Nicola Rhys-Jones are of interest, the real treat in this story is the loving description of Cornwall.
