Inspired by Brian Nankervis’s own experiences and ‘classic’ beach house anecdotes,The Beach House Years is the fictional story of a ‘Seahaven’, a beach house. Seahaven shimmers in the heat, looking across grass, scrub and sea. The house faces north and is shaped like a Vita Brits box. Four rooms, louvered windows, concrete paths and a swing. This funny, heartfelt story of the beach house covers forty years of family life.
