Between two seas - R. D. Cook

A poignant novella is set in a tiny Cornish village, this work unfolds over three days and two nights, focusing on the relationship between Jenna, a poet, and a 19-year-old student, Tomas Lock, who is interviewing for a spot in her college class. Despite the apparently tranquil setting for the meeting, both characters are, at the same time, going through devastating events in their personal lives. Shifting between their contrasting points of view, the novel traces their touching relationship, from first meeting through a sudden traumatic event that tests their emotional endurance to their ultimate and poignant final parting.
