Penelope's life from young womanhood to the present is revealed in pieces, from her own point of view and those of her children. When the novel opens, Penelope is in her 60s and has just been discharged from the hospital after what was seemingly a heart attack. 1 New York Times Bestseller'The Shell Seekers is a deeply satisfying story, written with love and confidence.
