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.

A long satisfying read which would enhance any holiday -- Today 'A beautiful, haunting story ... that will tug at your heartstrings' -- Prima 'A huge, warm, saga ... A deeply satisfying story written with love and confidence' -- Maeve Binchy in The New York Times Book Review<
Rosamunde Pilcher has had a long and distinguished career as a novelist and a short story writer, but it was her phenomenally successful novel, THE SHELL SEEKERS, that captured the hearts of all who read it and won her international recognition as one of the best-loved storytellers of our time. Her bestselling novel, COMING HOME, was made into a television film. Her most recent bestseller was WINTER SOLSTICE, also adapted for television drama. She was awarded an O.B.E for services to literature in 2002.
