Cornwall, 1900s. Plyn Boat Yard is a hive of activity, and Janet Coombe
longs to share in the excitement of seafaring: to travel, to have
adventures, to know freedom. But constrained by the times, instead she
marries her cousin Thomas, a boat builder, and settles down to raise a
family.
Janet's loving spirit - the passionate yearning for
adventure and for love - is passed down to her son, and through him to
his children's children. As generations of the family struggle against
hardship and loss, their intricately plotted history is set against the
greater backdrop of war and social change in Britain. Her debut novel,
The Loving Spirit established du Maurier's reputation and style with an
inimitable blend of romance, history and adventure.
