Marvellous is eighty-nine and has spent most of her life alone in a secluded creek in Cornwall. These days she passes her time on a stone by the river, watching the water through a telescope and waiting for something she cannot name but expects to recognise when it arrives. One day a young man named Drake, scarred by the Second World War, staggers into her world. He is carrying out a promise made to a dying friend, and it has left him battered in body and spirit. Marvellous takes him in and nurses him slowly back toward strength. Through their unlikely friendship, the story explores everyday wonder, the pull of the sea, the comfort of old tales and homemade drinks, and the ways people keep going when loss keeps catching up with them.
