was a beautiful, breezy, yellow-and-green afternoon...' This is the way
Abby Whitshank always begins the story of how she and Red fell in love
that summer's day in 1959. The whole family on the porch, half-listening
as their mother tells the same tale they have heard so many times
before. From that porch we spool back through the generations,
witnessing the events, secrets and unguarded moments that have come to
define the family. From Red's father and mother, newly arrived in
Baltimore in the 1920s, to Abby and Red's grandchildren carrying the
family legacy boisterously into the twenty-first century - four
generations of Whitshanks, their lives unfolding in and around the
sprawling, lovingly worn Baltimore house that has always been their home.<br></span>(480 pages)<br><br>"One of her very best" (<i>Sunday Times</i>)<br><br>"Glorious" (<i>Independent</i>)<br><br>"May be her best yet, though, to be honest, this is what I always tend
