The concept
A dry year exposes the foundations of a village that was moved uphill sixty years ago. Three women with ties to one street return to the safe viewing path. One remembers the village before the water. Another grew up hearing an account of a voluntary departure. A third has made a career drawing places she never knew. Each must choose what to bring into the thriving town above the reservoir.
At the overlook Rose points out the house where she was six. Hazel says the doorway belonged to the family who cleaned it. Both women remember the same red kettle on the floor. The free companion novella is The Height on the Doorframe.
The worldA fictional English reservoir and a managed public overlook. Safe access is guided. Photographs, a remembered route and independent accounts can contradict an inherited family story without turning the novel into a crime investigation.
Series tropesSmall Town • Grief to Hope • Opposing Morals to Moral Growth
Intended readershipWomen's fiction for readers who love place, intergenerational friction and the complicated ownership of a local memory.
Tone & contentReflective and hopeful. Displacement, estrangement and grief are present. Each book ends with a concrete change in the heroine’s life.
