San Francisco, 1904. Georgia Briscoe has fallen in love with a British sailor, but her family much prefers the charming businessman, Drew Kemp. However, it isn't long before Drew is exposed as a greedy gambler with a penchant for other women. Georgia decides to escape but disaster thwarts her plans. 

1948. Chrissie Kemp travels to the Lake District to try to reconcile the feud between her mother Vanessa and her grandmother Georgia. But Chrissie ends up discovering more about her family’s history than she bargained for.
 

' This is an outstanding historical saga, on a par with Pilcher’s "The Shell Seekers", in its family complexity... Woven into the main story are many sub-plots devised to tempt the reader to reach further into the cupboard of family skeletons. If ever there were a filmic novel with great characters and loads of visual interest, this is it. The book reveals much about love and human nature as page after page of oversensitive female characters’ thoughts abound. This is a book of elaborate and extreme emotional introspection. If this is what you like, then this is for you.'Historical Novels Review
