About this title

From the Back Cover:

For the three lovely Mackintosh girls, their time as Glasgow's most talented art students was one of innocence Now separately miles and by marriage they find their life far from tranquil.

For Anna, coping with her wayward daughter, Van, proves almost more than she can manage. Sustained only by the passionate love for her husband, Richie, she is unprepared for a bitter awakening. Her twin, Jean, has struggles of her own, protecting her beloved Roderick, a young man with the mind of a child. Only the baby of the family, Nancy, can be truly proud of her son Gordon, but even he may not be quite the man she imagined...

From Glasgow to New York, Barcelona and the glittering art circles of the fifties, Anna, Jean and Nancy strive to keep their families together, and realise nothing can replace the support of loving sisters...
