There's More Than One Kind Of Love.
Athene Forster is the most glamorous girl of her generation. She is also beautiful, spoilt, and out of control. And two years after her marriage to the steady young heir to a farming estate the rumours have already begun again.
Thirty-five years on, Suzanna Peacock is saddled with her dazzling mother's legacy, at odds with her father and his second wife and struggling in a stalled marriage. The only place she finds comfort is in her shop. The Peacock Emporium, decorated in her own image, provides a haven for other misfits in the town. There she makes the first real friends of her life, including Alejandro, who is escaping his own ghosts in Argentina.
But the spectre of Athene and the shop itself combine to set in place a chain of tragic events, forcing Suzanna to confront the feelings she has disguised for so long - and her family finally to deal with the events of the past. And Suzanna discovers that the key to her history, and her happiness, may have been in front of her all along.
