Sinopse

In this new-cover edition of The Shell Collectors , New York Times bestselling author Rosamunde Pilcher tells the story of one family, and the love and heartbreak that have held it together for three generations.

At 64, Penelope Keeling has just been discharged from the hospital after a heart attack. The daughter of a renowned artist, she's had quite a life. Growing up in Cornwall during World War II with her bohemian parents, she eventually adopted that lifestyle.

As a wedding gift, Penelope's father painted The Shell Collectors , which, years later, she keeps preserved in her home in the small village where she lives with her three children—Olivia, Noel, and Nancy. For Penelope, the painting symbolizes the bond between generations and has become her most precious possession.

But when the value of her now-deceased father's paintings skyrockets on the art market, and the painting "The Shell Collectors" sparks her children's interest, Penelope must make a decision that will determine whether her family will remain united or fall apart. As she recalls the passions, tragedies, and secrets of her life, Penelope knows there is only one answer...and it lies in her heart.

In a family saga that explores the search for identity, Rosamunde Pilcher fills us with emotion. The world she created becomes a place where we feel at home, a place we can't wait to return to and one we'll never forget.
