This hefty saga is about Penelope Keeling, a 64-yr-old British woman with three grown children. She's recently had a heart attack, and is returning to her country home. The story shifts back and forth in time, from Penelope's childhood to the present day. "The Shell Seekers," refers to an oil painting that was painted by Penelope's father. As in all of Pilcher's books, the characters are believable, fully-developed, and interesting. It's a long story, but well worth the time and effort. After reading this book, I systematically read every one of her books.
