- Synopsis
- Four independent-minded sisters come of age in the early 1900s--and four interwoven novels tell their stories, each through a different sister's eyes. The year is 1910, and the four Purcell sisters have only each other. Their mother has died, leaving them orphans in a rambling country estate. But with the help of the Mackenzies--their guardian and his family, whom the sisters come to love in very different ways--Sarah, Frances, Julia, and Gwen find the courage to follow their own paths in a world that is rapidly changing. Gwen's Story is the fourth in the series, and ends on the eve of World War II. Stay-at-home Gwen ventures forth to Germany, lured by the promise of orchids to draw. Instead, she becomes enmeshed in a family drama involving refugees from Nazi Germany. Avid readers and fans of historical-fiction classics will love these spirited heroines--named the Little Women of our times by the TIMES of London--and will be thoroughly absorbed by their intertwining tales, full of feistiness, creativity, and young romance.
