Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from La Cote D'emeraude
WE do not find la Co'te d'emeraude on the map. It lies across geographic, historic and ethnic boundaries, a deep embroidered border of orchard, field and town, golden beaches and iron cliffs, round the edge of the great Gulf of St. Malo, which looks hacked rectangularly out of the land, and strewn with chips and fragments; it is, in fact, but a local detail of the slow subsidence and erosion that have made Great Britain and Ireland into islands, and changed the vast plain that joined them to northern Europe into a shallow sea.
