My second novel, published by Fourth Estate and HarperPerennial, and recently reissued. 

Young protagonist Fanny Newlove moves to Margate with her family in 1835. The discovery of an underground shell grotto in their new back garden is a catalyst for the unravelling of Fanny's world, as childhood secrets are replaced by adult intrigues and ruthless profiteering.
