Sinossi
1918. Alla fine della guerra, Clara Carter sale su un treno diretto in Cornovaglia per incontrare la famiglia di Bertie, il suo grande amore, rimasto ucciso sui campi di battaglia. Accolta come una figlia, Clara potrà riprendersi dal lutto, ma dovrà custodire un segreto nel suo cuore per tutta la vita.
1947. Hannah, la figlia di Clara, ha sempre avuto la certezza che sua madre avesse un passato misterioso. Quando si innamora dell’uomo sbagliato, scopre, come sua madre prima di lei, che ne pagherà il prezzo. Rimasta incinta e sola, prende l’unica decisione possibile: farà di tutto per proteggere Caroline, la bambina che sta per nascere.
2020. Caroline è stata a lungo la custode dei segreti della sua famiglia. Ma ora che sua figlia Natalie ha bisogno di lei, sente che è giunto il momento di raccontarle tutto. Deve dimostrarle che proviene da una stirpe di donne che hanno affrontato le intemperie della vita, forti e orgogliose come le imponenti scogliere della Cornovaglia.
Dall’autrice best seller del Sunday Times, un romanzo epico e travolgente che parla di madri e di figlie, di segreti e bugie, e di un amore capace di resistere tutta una vita.

I’ve read all of Fern Britton books in the Cornish series and have enjoyed them all. This one was quite different from her others as it was set in different time lines were as her others were more present day. I loved this one the story pulled you in immediately and I could picture the people and th Leggi tutto
I will declare my bias from the beginning of this review. I like Fern Britton as a writer and read all of her books. This one is not one of her Cornish series but it is based in Cornwall. It is a family saga set during war time (wars I and II) and post war in the late 50s. It is about one daughter fi Leggi tutto
This was different to the previous books I've read by Fern Britton. I love books set around the war years and this one spans from WWI to the present day. The story is told through the generations of Clara's family. Caroline in the present day, receives a trunk which reveals family secrets and explai Leggi tutto
It took me a while to get into this book but that could be more to do with my mood than the book itself, but when I did I couldn't put it down! A very good story. This is the first book from this author that I've read. I believe it's a bit different to her others. It's told by a couple of people in
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Fern writes with such warmth, and a good family saga is just what I needed at the moment, as I'm missing mine. This is the story of four generations of women. Women who are human and make mistakes. Women who have loved and lost, and how they have dealt with it. A lovely Leggi tutto
I think that this book should have been written as a simple narrative as the individual characters' stories were often absorbing. However I found the part about the trunk was pointless. when comments were interjected they often gave the plot away and stopped the flow of the story. I don't think that Leggi tutto
This is a very different book to the ones I usually read. I enjoyed it but wasn’t totally drawn into it. The story felt quite rushed and a whole part of it wasn’t completely explained. It felt like a couple of chapters had been lost. I wanted to read this book after hearing Fern Britton talk about i Leggi tutto
