Her father works at a big hotel on the point. She does this for many summer visitors, including the ones who live in her house. In the summer, she and her father rent two shabby rooms inland and she walks every morning to the coast, where she spends the day washing and changing bedding, sweeping the sand off the floors, scouring and dusting. It starts with a girl named Maura, which is my name, too.

You’ve never heard these noises before and they are making you cry. Series: The Tales of Gorlen Vizenfirthe.Series: From the Lost Travelers’ Tour Guide.
