The Forty-Five Minute series

Begin on Llandudno Pier

As a child, Kate was found beside the Conwy estuary with no memory of what had happened and a pebble clutched in her hand. Twenty years later, she returns to Llandudno Pier, still carrying the stone and still trying to understand the gaps in her past.

Her name is carved into a bench. She cannot remember seeing it before.

Kate’s return begins a connected story that moves through North Wales, taking readers onto a Snowdonia train, into Betws-y-Coed and on to Colwyn Bay.
