Far From Home
“Then she heard the shrieking gulls squabbling on the roof across the road, and smelt the saltiness that was carried on the wind from the sea, and remembered she was in Cliffehaven.

She swung her legs off the bed and padded across the room in her pink liberty bodice and cami-knickers. ‘I’d better get washed and ready for visiting,’ she murmured, grabbing her dressing gown from the hook on the back of the door.
Danuta curled back into the soft blankets, and was still there when Polly returned to the bedroom to get dressed.MoreLess
