'I, Said the Sparrow' is set on the Sussex coast, 1910-21. 'The Paper Palace' x 'Weyward'. A quiet, seaside town thinks it can keep its secrets until a man is pulled from The Arun gutted like a fish. Now noone's secret is safe. #SmallPitch #A #NVL #HR #UP #amquerying #amwriting – at Littlehampton, England
