Kurzbeschreibung:
Artist's daughter Penelope Keeling can look back on a full and varied life: a Bohemian childhood in London and Cornwall, an unhappy wartime marriage, and the one man she truly loved. She has brought up three children - and learned to accept them as they are. Yet she is far too energetic and independent to settle sweetly into pensioned-off old-age. And when she discovers that her most treasured possession, her father's painting, "The Shell Seekers", is now worth a small fortune, it is Penelope who must make the decisions that will determine whether her family can continue to survive as a family, or be split apart.
Beschreibung:
Penelope Keeling, eine sehr patente alte Dame, blickt auf ihr Leben zurück und zieht Bilanz. Was war, was ist, was bleibt von 64 Jahren?
Eines ist sicher: Von dem geliebten Bild ihres Vaters, den 'Muschelsuchern', will sie sich nicht trennen. Schon gar nicht jetzt, wo ihre eigennützigen Kinder sie zum Verkauf drängen.
