Things are looking up for Caroline and Malcolm Parker: they have a new baby girl and Malcolm's son, Chris, is back, helping his father to plant a vineyard. When Chris discovers silver artefacts in the vineyard they call in antiques expert Diana Fraser, a striking woman to whom Chris is immediately attracted. But things will not be so easy...Diana's revelations about the silver provide a background reaching back into the history of Kent, but it is the strengthening relationships between a cast of vividly realised characters that give substance to the book, allowing the reader to identify with the loves and losses we all must cope with.
