LOOKING FORWARD-CHADWICK FAMILY

A MUST READ BEFORE READING THE PRODIGAL WIFE BY MARCIA WILLETT-IT SETS THE THEME FOR THE FINAL STORY

Excellent Story Filled with Wonderful Characters You'll Love

I was excited to start this book knowing it was the first of a trilogy and that if I liked it, there would be at least two more books to continue the story. Having just finished it, I can honestly say I think it is one of Marcia Willett's best. That's saying a lot since I've read all her other books except for this trilogy of the Chadwick Family. Fliss, Mole, and Susanna are orphaned when their parents and older brother are killed in a vicious attack in Kenya. The children are sent back to England to take up residence with their paternal grandmother, the kindly Freddy, who lives on the family estate known simply as The Keep. A magnificent storyteller, Willett is able to introduce us to this unforgettable Chadwick family and keep us enthralled as she relates the intricacies and hidden secrets, the joys and triumphs the family members encounter. In addition to the four mentioned previously, the reader will meet Theo, Prue, Caroline, Kit, Hal, Ellen, Fox, and others whose love and compassion, generosity and humor, guide the younger generation of Chadwicks to adulthood. It is a compelling family drama set in the secluded English countryside of Devon. Poignantly told and very readable, this is the type of book I find it impossible to put down until the last page is devoured.
