Product Description
Product Description
When her husband died, it was clear to Verity that she would have to sell Knighton, the beautiful old house where her daughter, Hester, had grown up and where her mother before her had come as a young bride. But the move proved to be a beginning rather than an ending: it revealed a host of secrets which the three women had been harbouring. Successful, single and independent, Hester was determined to put to rest the legacies that she had inherited.

Format:Hardcover
Beautifully written, the story of three generations of women unfolds gently and fluidly. The language and wonderful use of description is at times not unlike Austen, yet it's a very contemporary novel with strong hints of intrigue and deception that compelled me to keep turning the pages. With likeable and totally believable characters, Grandmother's Footsteps is ultimately a very satisfying read. Not least because you cannot help but compare the women with one's own family members - I defy you not to!

Keep with the first few chapters - the character details are complex. After that, a really well written, intriguing plot. Hope there will be a sequel.

I couldn't really get to grips with this book. Felt it was dotting around all over the place until I lost track of who was who and what happened to who and how everything connected. Good idea for a story but not clearly written.
