Description
(Originally published in Britain as The Silent Shore.)Four independent-minded sisters come of age in the early 1900s -- and four interwoven novels tell their stories, each through a different sister's eyes.The year is 1910, and the four Purcell sisters have only each other. Their mother has died, leaving them orphans in a rambling country estate. But with the help of the Mackenzies -- their guardian and his family, whom the sisters come to love in very different ways -- Sarah, Frances, Julia, and Gwen find the courage to follow their own paths in a world that is rapidly changing.
