A novel of Cornwall in 12 Tall Tales
Twelve university friends meet up every year on Midsummer Night’s Eve at a secret beach near Tintagel, Cornwall. They sit in a circle around a campfire, sharing the ups and downs of their lives. Good times are always had, but they’re tinged with sadness. They leave a gap in the circle for the thirteenth friend who, in thirty years, has never joined them. Perhaps this year will be different?
It is. But not in the way they’d hoped. As they’re arguing over how the pasty got its crimp, an ancient giant of a man, covered in bird feathers, plonks himself into the gap and commands them to be silent as he sets the record straight. He tells them the tales of Cornwall that no one yet knows, how it shaped the world and might yet save it. As the night wears on, and stories shapeshift fantasy and fact, the friends must question everything they thought they knew to be true - about their past, their future, and each other.
Just Kernow is a novel in twelve tall stories: eleven untold tales of Cornwall bound by the twelfth no one realises is happening - the fate of the friends sitting on the beach.
