Two sisters from rural Cornwall come of age in the 1930s as their community sits on the brink of change in this saga of love, family, and war.
After graduating from finishing school, Celia and Wenna Pengelly go their separate ways—Celia to New Jersey to recover from a broken heart, and Wenna to London, where she discovers ambitions she never knew she had.
However, though worlds apart, both sisters are inexorably drawn towards Cornwall, to the family businesses of china, clay, and pottery. And as the world teeters once more on the brink of war, the Pengellys struggle to keep pace with change.
The only source of stability is their family unit and now even that is at risk, threatened by uncontrollable external forces.
Perfect for readers of Emma Hornby, Rosie Goodwin, and Lesley Pearse.
