Hi
I've decided to try the 50 books in 2019 and I'm planning ahead. I'm going to Cornwall for the first time ever this summer and I'd love to read some atmospheric books to get a bit of a sense of place, etc. Please send me some recommendations!
I'm not into thrillers, I loved Rosamunde Pilcher's Coming Home and The Shell Seekers.
Thank you

Is the French Lieutenants Woman set in Cornwall or have I made that up? Been about 10 years since I read it

I think French Lieutenants Womens is set in Dorset.

Over Sea Under Stone is a children’s book, but v atmospheric I think.

Try The Shell Seekers by Rosamonde Pilcher.

Penmarric by Susan Howatch. It's a multi generation family saga based on the lives of Kings. One of my all time favourite books.
