I May Tread Safely

By Philippa Boston

In the summer of 1976, May Flynn's path from childhood to the world of adults is harsh and sudden. Forced to flee London and their creditors, May and her parents are given refuge deep in the Cotswold countryside by their only remaining friends. As the summer heat intensifies, May's curiosity and resilience lead her to unspoken family secrets. Misty memories clarify into a story that will re-shape many things May thought she knew as true. The kindness of strangers provides a backdrop to a series of events that will change her world forever. Amongst the lessons of the summer, she learns that monsters may prove kind and the familiar may prove monstrous.
