What happens when a young mother abandons her young daughter to Grandma and goes traipsing off around the world? The mother is mourned, until finally shoved aside in anger at the abandonment. It’s the grandmother who raises the girl, who becomes her mother. Then the mother returns to a home of only her mother, her daughter being overseas with her own daughter. (Believe me, the story isn’t as complicated as what I just wrote!)
The youngest daughter went through a nightmarish situation at school and refuses to talk about it. The grandma isn’t well. So, granddaughter and great granddaughter return to Devon, where the Grandmother lives, but so does the runaway mother. And people need to solve a crime or two as well as grow up.
If you enjoyed the stories by Maeve Binchy, I think you will enjoy the books by Barbara O’Neal. Complex characters, complex stories, most satisfying endings.
