About the Author:
Ruth Elwin Harris has lived abroad at different times during her life. She spent three years in the USA before her marriage, working in jobs as diverse as secretary, sailing instructor and stage manager for a theatre company, and at one time helped out at an orphanage in India run by Mother Theresa's nuns. Ruth has written many stories for magazines and radio and is the author of Billie: The Nevill Letters, 1914-1916, a moving collection of World War I letters that she came across in the Imperial War Museum while researching the background for The Dividing Sea. Ruth now lives with her family in North Yorkshire.
Review:
"An absorbing family drama - "the Little Women of our times." * "The family relationships are convincingly portrayed with considerable insight. Her descriptions of the countryside, flowers and scenery and of emotions are vivid, but her real strengths lie in characterisation." School Librarian. * "The Little Women of our times." The Times * "A family saga to enthral." The Times Literary Supplement * "Vivid... Memorable." The Guardian

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. This is a first printing of the first edition, with a complete number line. The paper has darkened slightly, but there are no signs of use or wear. The navy covers are fresh; the gold spine lettering is shiny. The dust jacket is price-intact, with just a touch of wear at tips and corners, but no tears or damage. A very nice copy. The jacket is now in a protective mylar cover. Synopsis: "Gwen, third of the four Purcell sisters, tends the large Hillcrest garden and pursues her artistic endeavours. The unexpected and unwelcome gift of an orchid collection is the first event to disturb her calm world, but it is a visit to an unknown orchid grower in Germany that forces her beyond her sheltering boundaries. It is 1936, the Nazis are in power, and Gwen finds the courage to start living in the modern world. Seller Inventory # 008014
