***********************************************************

ONE FAMILY, ONE PLACE AND THE WOMAN WHO HELD THEM TOGETHER...

Madge was four years old when she first saw the Cornish sea and fell in love with it, and it was there that her family grew and suffered and loved.

It was there she and her mother went to recover from a heartrending family tragedy; there she was forced reluctantly into marriage; there she fell into a wild and passionate wartime love.

And it was there she saw her children grow and love and cope with the secret legacies the years had left them, until finally they became more than just summer visitors.

Reviews

Lily Baxter is a natural storyteller, weaving in just enough detail of the progress of the war to inform but not overwhelm the reader, and creating some wonderfully realistic secondary characters who help to bring the story to life. Her knowledge and love of Guernsey shines through this book as she examines the difficulties of an island under occupation.
