The Bird in the Tree - Softcover
Synopsis
David and Nadine loved each other. Why should the be forced to make an impossible choice? The Bird in the Tree Few women her age were as beautiful or as cherished by their families as Lucilla Eliot. In her love for the Eliot clan, she had worked to make Damerosehay, her home on the Hampshire coast, a captivatingly beautiful refuge, capable of withstanding any threat to family happiness. Now, her lifetime's labor was about to be destroyed by her favorite grandson David. In love with Nadin, the estranged wife of another man, he faced an impossible choice: surrender his devotion to the woman he loved and preserve his family's integrity or marry her and destroy everything that Lucilla had worked so hard to preserve. The love of children, the wisdom of an old woman, the traditions of the family home, and the lonely splendor of the marshes and the sea all play their part in this beautiful tale, sensitively told. This is the first of Elizabeth Goudge's three novels about the Eliot family - the others are entitled Pilgrim's Inn and The Heart of the Family.
