The endearing bestseller from the much-loved Rosamunde Pilcher
Born in Colombo, Judith Dunbar spends her teenage years at boarding school, while her beloved mother and younger sister live abroad with her father. When her new friend Loveday Carey-Lewis invites Judith home for the weekend to Nancherrow, the Carey-Lewises' beautiful estate on the Cornish coast, it is love at first sight. With the family's generosity and kindness, Judith flourishes from a naïve girl into a confident young woman, basking in the warm affection of a surrogate family.
But the gathering storm of war cannot be ignored. Judith herself has far to travel before at last . . . coming home.
