Synopsis

September - The author of “The Shell Seekers” brings characters from all over the world to the little town of Strathcroy, Scotland, for an extraordinary birthday party. A heart-warming story of family joys and sorrows. Set in Scotland the novel begins in the month of May as invitations are being written for a party in September, a moment which will be the turning point in the lives of a small group of people. Among them are Virginia Aird and her husband, bitterly divided over their small, shy son, facing the unanswered questions behind their apparently happy marriage; and the young and vulnerable Alexa, tentatively discovering love for the first time – but can her love be returned by Noel Keeling, handsome, calculating and arrogant, who first appeared in The Shell Seekers? There is also Archie, Lord Belmerino, who has borne with courageous silence the awful legacy of his army career; Lottie, whose meddling is seen by some to be malicious and by others as evil. And watching them all, keeping her own counsel, yet torn by the hurt her family and friends might inflict on themselves, is Violet, the oldest but strongest and wisest of them all. And then there is Pandora. Glamourous, exciting Pandora, her reasons for deserting her family so suddenly twenty years earlier are still a mystery; will she choose September as the moment to come back? The expectations of her return stir up passions and memories that some were glad to forget.
