COMING HOME

From the bestselling author of The Shellseekers comes a warm and enthralling saga that takes the reader from Cornwall to Ceylon, from the long summers of peacetime to the storms of war.

Judith Dunbar, its captivating heroine, falls in love with Nancherrow, her friend Loveday's beautiful family estate on the Cornish coast, and with Loveday's family.

But their carefree laughter is stilled by the horrors of war and Judith herself must travel far before at last . . . coming home.

Coming Home was made into a successful television drama, along with a sequel, Nancherrow.

SEPTEMBER

As spring comes to Scotland and the hills burst into life, a dance is planned for September. The invitations summon home the group of people Violet Aird has cared for most in her long life.

The oldest, strongest and wisest of them all, she sees Alexa, her vulnerable granddaughter, find love for the first time, while the decision to send her little grandson away to school is driving parents Edmund and Virginia even further apart. Far from them all is Pandora, the glamorous, exciting girl who ran away twenty years before. All will converge on Scotland this September.

THE SHELL SEEKERS

Artist's daughter Penelope Keeling can look back on a full and varied life: a Bohemian childhood in London and Cornwall, an unhappy wartime marriage, and the one man she truly loved. She has brought up three children - and learned to accept them as they are.

Yet she is far too energetic and independent to settle sweetly into pensioned-off old-age. And when she discovers that her most treasured possession, her father's painting, The Shell Seekers, is now worth a small fortune, it is Penelope who must make the decisions that will determine whether her family can continue to survive as a family, or be split apart.
