Quarter Past Summer

By Mandy Baldwin

A century of unbreakable bonds, and friendships which last a lifetime. Six girls growing up in the seaside town of Westering live through a magical summer which changes the course of their lives, and leads them to keep secrets which will affect generations to come. Decades later, against the background of the Afghan war, a crisis brings memory into focus, revealing how deeply rooted each girl was in the unchanging little town, and how their families, and Westering itself, have survived past dramas of history. Bound by ties of blood and affection, only through facing the truth will each find the link to the past which will heal the future - and learn that, after all, everything is perfectly connected. "... a lovely story of how lives and events are connected and how those connections, even if they are unknown to us, affect our lives and our actions.Baldwin tells the life stories of a group of girls in the mid-seventies, in a small English sea side town, and how one summer changed the direction of all their lives. ....a story of interconnected lives and pasts that shape the future. ....a sweeping story of four generations of people from the town of Westering that is full of emotion, passion and humanity."
