Trelawney

Gabi is at home, recovering from the latest beating inflicted by her abusive husband. She is trapped, with nowhere to go and facing similar violence until one day she knows he will kill her and put an end her misery. Then, the postman calls and a letter with a Cornish postmark drops on her doormat. What it contains changes her life for ever. She finds she had inherited a large property on the southern coast of Cornwall from an aunt she never knew even existed.
She travels there to learn more, then secretly, she plans her departure and escape. On arrival at the property named Trelawny, she meets an older woman who is hostile, but soon after, another arrival brings a beautiful flame-red haired young woman into her life. Finished with men for ever, Gabi is instantly attracted to Beth who is of similar age, but wary of rejection, she holds her feelings in check.
Unbeknown to her, Beth harbours the same feelings towards Gabi and slowly they inch towards that realisation. Following the arrival of an unwelcome visitor, Beth leaves Trelawny leaving Gabi devastated, but nothing prepares her for the arrival of her brutal husband who turns up on her doorstep to take control. He stays and as a result, a chain of events is started which rakes up the past in devastating fashion and everything that has happened to Gabi and all those linked to Trelawny, finally explodes over a dinner where all those attending have their lives laid bare in a dramatic climax which Anietta Strong describes in shocking detail.
A love story like no other.
