Book description
Having given up a high-powered job and the lifestyle to match, Tessa
Hainsworth had no idea how hard she would struggle when, full of
optimism, she fulfilled her dream of moving to rural Cornwall with her
young family one September. In the first book Up With the Larks
Tessa charted her first turbulent year with the Royal Mail,
and her transformation from outsider to 'Posh Postie', adopted
Cornishwoman and much-loved member of her new community.
In Seagulls in the Attic Tessa is now a pillar of the
community, or so she thinks. Life is becoming hard for her and her
family as they realise that being part of a small community is not
quite the idyll she had been lead to believe, as lack of money and the
demands of family life take their toll. But, as with the first book,
Tessa finds the fun and resilience to turn all the hardships to her
advantage - eventually.
The first book sold over 6,000 copies in hardcover and is rapidly
becoming a must-read book for all those who hanker for an escape to
the country.
Tessa Hainsworth worked as a marketing manager at The Body Shop. She
now lives in Cornwall with her husband and two children.
