Fascinující kniha. Jedna z mála, ke které se vracím. Snad i proto, že je tam zpracován rodinný strom a já nedávno zjistila, že před cca 100 lety si jiná žena z mého rodu vzala muže z manželova rodu.
Více o knize
Plyn Boat Yard is a hive of activity, and Janet Coombe, born in turn of the 20th century Cornwall, she longs to share in the excitement of seafaring: to travel, to have adventures, to know freedom. But constrained by the times, instead she marries her cousin Thomas, a boat builder, and settles down to raise a family.Janet's loving spirit - the passionate yearning for adventure and for love - is passed down to her son, and through him to his children's children. As generations of the family struggle against hardship and loss, their intricately plotted history is set against the greater backdrop of war and social change in Britain.
