The Shell Seekers (1987)

I remember loving this book when it was first published years ago. I just may have to re-read it soon. ( )

Pilcher is lovely. Her books are dense with complicated relationships, complex people, and vivid writing. You can almost taste the tea and smell the rainwashed flowers. ( )

Joanie just read... ( )

The Shell Seekers is a novel of connection: of one family, and of the passions and heartbreak that have held them together for three generations. The Shell Seekers is filled with real people--mothers and daughters, husband and lovers--inspired with real values. The Shell Seekers centers on Penelope Keeling--a woman you'll always remember in world you'll never forget. The Shell Seekers is a magical novel, the kind of reading experience that comes along only one in a long while. ( )

Wonderfully detailed and honest. True family life. ( )
