At 59, Jenna Rae is one of the last born-and-bred residents of Pencarven, a small settlement on Cornwall's rugged north coast. Forty years ago, it was a traditional seaside village, cherished by locals and holidaymakers alike. Since then, it's been transformed into an exclusive retreat for the wealthy, stripping away everything she once held dear.
Sent back in time to 1983, Jenna sees an opportunity to rewrite the future - and fight for her heritage. Along the way, she takes on a corrupt councillor, confronts a ruthless film star threatening to tear her family apart, and strives to prevent the tragedy that took her boyfriend's life. But what can she possibly do about the devastating flood she knows is heading her way?
Join Jenna on her unforgettable journey to the past in this compelling, uplifting tale - set in the year that brought us breakfast television and Roland Rat, while Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, and Culture Club were at the height of their fame.
1983 is part of the anthology series A Year in the Life. Each book revisits a different aspect of life in the 1980s, and each story can be enjoyed standalone.
