In 'The Serpentine Cave', Marion confronts chaos after the death of her mother, an obsessive artist. She seeks answers about her childhood and the identity of her father, lost in the war. A portrait of a young man in her mother's studio leads her to St Ives, Cornwall, where she discovers a tragedy linked to her father's life: the sinking of the local lifeboat more than fifty years ago. Marion must delve into the past to confront the demons that have tormented her adult life and discover the truth about her father.
