Beschreibung:
Sara Ware Bassett (1872-1968) was an American author and textile designer. Unwilling to accept a designer's position away from home, she turned to teaching and for twenty years held a position in the Newton public schools. Spending her summers on the Cape she developed a familiarity with and warmth for the local inhabitants. She wrote at least forty popular novels based on her experiences on the Cape, mostly set in and around the fictional villages of Belleport and Wilton and sharing a common cast of characters.
"The Cape's a-swirl with shiftin' sands. They drift out here, they pile up there. What's terra firma today is swallered up tomorrow."Marcia Howe is a confident, attractive, and self-assured widow living alone on the edge of the Cape Cod village of Wilton, a quiet place where little ever happens. Until one day the shifting winds of the Atlantic wash a handsome stranger up on the shore by Marcia's home-on the same day that news of a jewellery robbery on Long Island. When the stranger hands Marcia a packet of jewels to hide, she must decide whether to trust her heart or her head. Sarah Bassett fills this cosy mystery with warmth, humour and genuine affection for the people living in the fictional town of Wilton.
