It was during a snowstorm in February, 1976 when Tegan - known as Tiggy to her friends - arrived at the remote house on Bodmin Moor. She had lost her partner in a tragic accident and was now alone - and pregnant. Julia, her dearest friend, welcomed her into her warm and chaotic family, and Tiggy slowly started to live again. She awaited the birth of her child, temporarily secure in the supportive love which surrounded her.

But Tiggy's happiness was destined to be short-lived. Now, nearly thirty years later, when her son is about to become a father himself, the next generation discovers that there are secrets from the past that must be uncovered...

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I liked the characters; the story itself, and the setting as well. I give this book an A!

Marcia Willett writes very well. Anyone who reads Rosamunde Pilcher or Mary Stewart, or Alexandra Raife will thoroughly enjoy her work.
I especially enjoyed The Way We Were. From the prologue where the scene is set in the land of King Arthur and Merlin, and a small bronze of Merlin is passed on to modern-day Tiggy and the story unfolds with believeable characters, incidents. The dialogue fulfills the reader's expectations, as does the story line. There are secrets from the past, but I recommend the reader get into it and have the satisfaction of learning in the context of that scene.
I am keeping the book for another read or two. They always seem even better when read for the second or third time. I am always so eager to get through the first time with a
good book that it is a joy to have that privilege.
