The Shell Seekers

Description

Rosamunde Pilcher’s The Shell Seekers is “a huge warm saga…A deeply
satisfying story written with love and confidence” (Maeve Binchy in The New
York Times Book Review). The Shell Seekers was adapted twice to film (1989 and
2006). An instant bestseller when it was first published, The Shell Seekers is
an enduring classic which has touched the hearts of millions of readers
worldwide. A novel of connection, it is the story of one family―mothers and
daughters, husbands and lovers―and of the passions and heartbreak that have
held them together for three generations. This magical novel―the kind of
reading experience that comes along only once in a long while―is the perfect
read, whether you are returning to it again, or opening the cover for the
first time. At the end of a long and useful life, Penelope Keeling’s prized
possession is The Shell Seekers, painted by her father, and symbolizing her
unconventional life, from bohemian childhood to wartime romance. When her
grown children learn their grandfather’s work is now worth a fortune, each has
an idea as to what Penelope should do. But as she recalls the passions,
tragedies, and secrets of her life, she knows there is only one answer…and
it lies in her heart. Read more
