The wildflower path - Sarah Harrison

All families have secrets and many are taken to the grave, but those that aren't can return, generations later, with devastating consequences...

For Kate Drake, now a great-grandmother, marriage and family brought peace after years of restless uncertainty. Now, watching her own grown-up children, it seems the world is a no less complicated place. Stella, her fiercely independent daughter, and Will, her handsome, self-indulgent son, have challenges of their own to face, while Will's daughter, Evie, is bringing up a son on her own.

But when a secret from the past casts its shadow across four generations of the family, a spoiled war veteran gets a second chance, a stubbornly independent woman opens herself to love, and an older one rediscovers it, while a young boy begins to understand the complexities of adult life.

THE WILDFLOWER PATH brings to a close the remarkable family drama that began with the million-copy bestseller THE FLOWERS OF THE FIELD.

Sarah Harrison is the renowned author of more than 25 books. She is also a journalist and broadcaster (she's appeared on WOMAN'S HOUR, ANY QUESTIONS?, and most recently the book panel on Radio Five's SIMON MAYO PROGRAMME). Her novels THE FLOWERS OF THE FIELD and A FLOWER THAT'S FREE were bestsellers around the world. She lives in London.

This was first Harrison [novel] and her highly-detailed perspicacious style, full of insight and gentle humour, was a revelation.
