Excerpt from Evelyn and the Painted Cave:
Once upon a time in a small fishing village there lived a woman called Evelyn Dobbs. She lived alone by the sea in a little cottage made of shells, coral and bits of driftwood. One evening she walked outside to look at the ocean she both loved and despised; the crashing of the waves against the rocks was both a curse and a blessing, for within the ebb and flow of the tides lay her most cherished and saddest memories. She pulled a necklace with beads hewn from driftwood and sea glass from her bodice and held it close to her mouth. If someone had looked upon her, it would have seemed as though she was praying.
“I know your name now,” she shouted. “I know your name!”
The waves crashed on the beach in answer to her call.
She had made an oath to wait.
And she had waited. Now she was ready.
