| Description: |
Alvina Irwin is the second of five children. She spent the first ten years of her life with her grandparents in Berrynarbor, keeping her grandmother company. She read books and poetry, went out with her grandmother on social calls, and hardly saw her own family. By the time she rejoined them, her father had swapped market gardening for farming and moved to Kentisbury. Adjusting wasn't easy.
