Description

Cornwall 1860. Colenso Carne is forced to flee her family when the local mine owner turns his attentions her way. Forced to shear her long dark tresses, she hides in a wagon to escape, finding herself at the local fair in Helson. Fascinated by the unfettered life of the travelling people, Colenso sets to work on a stall selling rock candy, gingerbread and sweetmeats. But the Fair has a dark side too, and soon Colenso is invited to join the illusionist who thinks her exotic dark looks will help his act. A letter from home provides the spur she needs, and Colenso determines to leave the fair, finding work at a sweetshop in Penzance, where her skills soon bring her to the attention of local business man Garren Goss. Swapping recipes and ideas, the pair begin to build a formidable reputation for confectionary until a face from Colenso’s past brings trouble and heart-ache… Set against the dramatic Cornish coastline, this heart-warming saga of triumph and tragedy will delight fans of Rosie Goodwin and Dilly Court.
