![]() ![]() ![]() Laurence Stern is an artist who marries Sophie, the daughter of a friend. The main action takes place in the English Cotswolds and Cornwall and the story is a family saga which encompasses three generations of the Stern/Keeling family. The Shell Seekers is set all over the place though with Edinburgh just being mentioned a few times. So I suppose she can be regarded as a Scottish writer. It’s for that reason that I thought I would read it and the fact that Rosamunde Pilcher has lived in nearby Dundee since her marriage to a Scottish soldier in 1946 and brought up her family there. I know it was amazingly popular when it first came out but I was surprised when I looked at the BBC Top 100 book list that this one is number 50 on it. ![]() This book was first published in 1987 so I’m really late in getting around to reading it. ![]()
