Short Synopsis Sunday: A COTTAGE BY THE SEA / Review

What would you do if you caught your sister in bed with your husband? Chances are at the very least you’d nix your relationship with both of them and run as far away as you could get–especially if the story is going to be plastered all over the tabloids. This is exactly what Hollywood mogul Blythe Stowe does. She heads to England and the Cornish Coast. There she steeps herself in Daphne du Maurier’s wonderful novels, finds love with an Englishman, and discovers family secrets that have been long concealed.

In addition to her career as a non-fiction writer and novelist, Ciji was a reporter and commentator on radio and television in Los Angeles for over 20 years. She holds a degree in history from Harvard where she was the first female graduate to serve as president of the Alumni Association. She’s the author of five novels in addtion to her non-fiction works.
