Giveaway - The Shell Seekers - Rosamunde Pilcher

I read Rosamunde Pilcher's The Shell Seekers when it first released in 1987. Somewhere along the way, my copy disappeared. A new trade paperback edition releases May 12/15 from St. Martin's Press. For those who loved the book, or those who haven't yet discovered Pilcher's storytelling, here's your chance to own a copy of this new edition of The Shell Seekers.

An instant bestseller when it was first published, The Shell Seekers is an enduring classic which has touched the hearts of millions of readers worldwide.

A novel of connection, it is the story of one family--mothers and daughters, husbands and lovers--and of the passions and heartbreak that have held them together for three generations. This magical novel--the kind of reading experience that comes along only once in a long while--is the perfect read, whether you are returning to it again, or opening the cover for the first time.At the end of a long and useful life, Penelope Keeling's prized possession is The Shell Seekers, painted by her father, and symbolizing her unconventional life, from bohemian childhood to wartime romance. When her grown children learn their grandfather's work is now worth a fortune, each has an idea as to what Penelope should do. But as she recalls the passions, tragedies, and secrets of her life, she knows there is only one answer...and it lies in her heart." Read an excerpt of The Shell Seekers.

    I remember reading this book years and years ago. And then reading every book I could find by this author. Coming Home was another favorite. I'd love to win this book and re-read it.
