More Innocent Times

Gemma is ready for a change of scene. Her self-imposed exile in America worked for a while, helped her to forget, but now she is returning to England, the country of her birth, for a fresh start. A new job, a new house, a new life beckons, but there are old problems too, the same painful, raw problems she ran away from ten years ago.

Daisy stole Oliver from her. Her beloved sister just walked off with the love of her life. They never talked about it. They haven't talked about anything since. Not even the death of their father, Bertie, and the subsequent suicide of their beautiful mother Estella.

As Gemma and Daisy try tentatively to rebuild the closeness they shared as children, they must begin to confront the reasons why their mother killed herself, and to trace
her life story back to the 1950s - to more innocent times.

This is the story of two pairs of sisters - Gemma and Daisy, their mother Estella and her sister Shirley. It tells of love and passion, jealousy and secrets, and follows a family mystery back to its origins in the 1950s, but whose consequences stretch into the present and beyond.
