'The Rescue' is a compelling short read adaptation of Kittie Lambton's prizewinning entry to the Westgate Literary Festival 2019.
The arrival of a sailing yacht named Madeline to the shores of Westgate-on-Sea in Kent, England, marks a turning point in the lives of a visual artist, a mechanic, a Syrian refugee and a fiddle player who plays Klezmer, Classical and Celtic Folk Music. And so begins a heartwarming and uplifting tale of discovery; where acts of kindness and community spirit are rewarded with life-changing consequences that bring hope, opportunity and good fortune to all those who have the courage to embrace strangers.
About the author
I enjoy exploring how music can evoke and improve memory and the importance of music in our everyday lives, not only listening to our favourite music tracks, but the role of music in our shared heritage and culture.As a strong advocate for encouraging and supporting the teaching of music to children from a young age, I love to examine our relationship with music within my books. I am a cellist with a huge passion for the cello and admiration for all the music teachers who help mentor and inspire others to go ahead and pick up an instrument!Classical, Klezmer, Scottish and Manx Folk Music form a huge part of my writing; my characters are all inspired by the music around them! I strive to write books which are uplifting and thought provoking with nostalgia at their heart. My writing is based on my love of rural countryside, built landscapes and homely spaces as well as my love of sailing and the sea!I love reading and writing novellas; books that can be enjoyed in one sitting. I find the form ideal for our hectic busy lives!'The Rescue' is an adaptation from my prize winning entry to the Westgate Literary Festival 2019 and is inspired by my love of sailing, kind people and the small communities I have come to know from living beside the sea.Please follow my facebook page @kittielambtonauthor and share your thoughts about music, sailing, novellas and short reads!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kittielambtonauthor/Twitter and instagram: @kittielambtonThank you for visiting my author's page.Kittiewww.kittielambton.com
