A wonderfully uplifting story about a woman on her way to fulfilment KATIE FFORDE 'A sparklingly attractive novel written with humour, brio and a refreshing unsentimentality' ELIZABETH BUCHAN Jillian Hunter treasures her independence. Shes raised two sons by herself, launched a small business, and restored a tumbledown beach cottage in Connecticut. But when a trip to London reunites her with Colin an old flame she hasnt seen in thirty-five years Jill falls for him all over again. Love makes Jill reckless. This could be her chance for a new beginning. But Colin isnt quite the boy she remembers and she ends up risking everything shes worked for her business, her home, and her two closest friends to make a life with him. And when shes faced with the risk of losing Colin as well, Jill is forced to take an uncomfortably close look at the woman shes allowed herself to become. Funny, sophisticated, and wise, Beachcombing is a coming-of-middle-age story about girlfriends when youre no longer a girl, about growing up when youre already grown up, and the price youre willing to pay for the love of your life. |
