    DescriptionWriting is like breathing to me - even if I want to stop for a while, have a break, regroup, I simply cant. I find I cant stop the ink running across blank sheets. When I went to Cornwall to write this novel, it took me over. Im so thankful it did. - Laura MayThe Letterbox Man is a tale of love and loss in the life of Beth Spencer, set in the beautiful, haunting village of Polruan, Cornwall. Returning to Polruan for one week to clear her mothers house following her death, Beth, herself now an old woman, knows that she has hurt too much and has been away for too long, and that it is time to forgive the village and its river for the pain they caused her in the past. As Beth revisits the village of her childhood she is resigned to the fact that she is old and that she is dying. However, she is not prepared for the overwhelming beauty and peace that greets her there, and she is startled to find, among the ghosts of the past, a chance for a future. In turns rich, vivid, poetic and sorrowful, the first novel from Laura May, a young woman tackling Bipolar Disorder, is a poetic achievement.About the AuthorBorn in 1983, Laura May was always different.
