Mary Sheepshanks is tops at combining British chick lit with the family saga. This book rocked beyond my expectations. The sequel, written under her pen name Mary Nickson, is Secrets and Shadows. This story so intriguing that I searched out a rare copy of the sequel through Amazon's used book service. My neighbor, who is of an older generation, also loved this book and wanted to read the sequel.
The story moves from a family in the English countryside who are working on a theater project in an old building on their property to their desperate plight to remain a family as affairs develop. It's got arts, family, romance, deception, quirky characters and just plain heart.
Put this one on your wish list and hope that the next person to get it doesn't put it on their keeper list.
