The Wildflower Path

Electronic book text

THE WILDFLOWER GARDEN takes us back to meet Thea and her husband Jack, coping with a tough life on their Kenyan farm; Kate Drake, their adopted daughter, now a mother herself; Dulcie, the flighty, feisty, younger sister, keeper of secrets. Today there's Stella, Kate's stubbornly independent daughter and Will, her handsome self-indulgent soldier son; Will's own daughter, the divorced and embattled Evie bringing up her boy on her own. As life-changing secrets are revealed, a spoiled war veteran has a second chance; a stubbornly independent woman opens herself to love, and an old one rediscovers it; a young boy begins to understand the complexities of adult life.

From the bleakness of post-war Berlin to the Mau Mau terror of fifties Kenya, from Egypt and the Falklands conflict to the beauty of a centuries-old English university town, the novel's characters make discoveries and confront revelations about themselves and others, to find their individual ways forward into a new millennium.
