Publisher Description

Summer of 1957. Life at The Keep changes forever...

Marcia Willett tells the tale of three orphaned siblings sent from Kenya to live with their grandmother and cousins in Devon. Looking Forward is the first stunning novel in the Chadwick Family chronicles and is the perfect read for fans of Veronica Henry and Hilary Boyd.

'This moving family chronicle has a cast of wise and family characters. A real tear-jerker' - Family Circle

Life at The Keep changes forever when Fliss, Mole and Susannah arrive in the summer of 1957. Their parents and elder brother have been killed in Kenya so the children are sent to their grandmother, Freddy, in Devon.

Freddy is no stranger to grief, but she would be lost without her devoted helpers, Ellen and Fox, who enable her to cope with this latest tragedy. And, above all, she looks to her brother-in-law, Theo, to guide her while the children heal their wounds and embark on the treacherous journey to adulthood.

What readers are saying about Looking Forward:

'Marcia Willett has a wonderful affinity for bringing her characters to life'

'Another touching story!'

'Both heart-warming and heart-wrenching. But it left me feeling warm and happy'
