Can you tell us a little bit more about this? Why did you choose to start your story with this magical, chilling myth? ![]() The story begins with reference to the legend of the Wyrm and the Stones. When the war begins, and it becomes clear that there is a traitor in the village, the local community turns against Petra and her family, but can her beloved ‘Mutti’ really be to blame? It is about a twelve-year-old girl called Petra Zimmerman Smith who lives in a lighthouse on the white cliffs of Kent with her unpredictable big sister, her English father and her German mother. Our Castle by the Sea is set at the very beginning of the Second World War. Without giving too much away, can you tell us a bit about your new book Our Castle by the Sea? Our Castle by the Sea is Lucy’s second novel, following her critically acclaimed and much-loved debut, The Secret of Nightingale Wood. ![]()
