In this quartet known as Sisters of the Quantock Hills, Harris chronicles the lives of the four orphaned Purcells in the World War I era. Sarah's the baby, with a talent for writing. Frances is the eldest, who wins a place at the Slade School of Art and tells neighbor Gabriel Mackenzie she'll never marry. Gwen has always been the stay-at-home-type but travels to Germany on the eve of war. Julia falls in love with Gabriel's brother Geoffrey, but the war also shapes their lives. Each book comments on the previous one and continues the family saga.-----$5.99-----Recommended by: MJS
