It's Cornwall in the early 1960s, a freezing cold night, and the police find an old man huddled in a field. No one knows who he is or how he came to be there, and for years the old man, who spends his days at the nursing home in Greybridge, says nothing.
Enter Dr Simon, who has moved from London to this small Cornish town to work alongside Dr Fraser who has served the community for decades. After taking responsibility for the weekly rounds of the nursing home, he becomes increasingly interested in one particular patient - the old man who years earlier had been found huddled in a field. First he is greeted with silence, but then suddenly his patient speaks. It is then that he starts to reveal an incredible story - a story that spans continents and the universe itself, and will change the lives of those around him forever.
Hillside is a novel about enduring love, hope, despair and the agony of loss.
Approx. 270 pages.
