Faced with the apparent wreck of her life – two deaths which haunt her, a failing marriage and a soulless job – Rose Little flees London for Penmaris, a quiet Cornish cottage where she plans to paint and consider what to do next. The cottage has other ideas and Rose is quickly drawn into the tragic disappearance of its previous owner. Obsessed with solving the mystery, will Rose lay her own ghosts to rest? Cornwall has an ancient past. Its landscape is haunted by standing stones and Neolithic burial grounds. ‘Time out of Mind’ celebrates the spirit of place and its enduring power to heal.
