The Shell Seekers

A mother's love should be cnough...

A mother loves her children; of course she does. But sometimes she may not like them very much. In Penelope Keeling's case, two of her three grown-up children often give her cause for dislike. And when they put her under pressure to sell her most treasured possession - one of her father's paintings - they provoke a family crisis that causes Penelope to re-evaluate her whole life, with huge consequences for them all.

Rosamunde Pilcher's classic story of family life continues to enchant generations of readers and was one f the BBC's Big Read Top 100 Best-loved Novels.
