From the Back Cover
Dan Bowmaker lives with his wife and five children in an idyllic seaside town but the market crash of 1929 brings hardship for all, not least for the Bowmaker girls on their search for love.
There is sensible Connie, engaged to a tug-boat man and who lives in dread of the sea snatching away her happiness. Pretty, cultured Annie aims high with men - but her love will bear her far away to an alien land and way of life. Pam can't help but fall in love with the one man she can't have, the son of her father's mortal enemy. And Josie, the youngest, dreams of high society, so Arthur, her East-End boyfriend, can't possibly measure up - or so she thinks.
The Bowmakers are an unforgettable family, often daunted but never beaten. . .
