All Our Precious Things Rosemary Allix

Warm hearted Jen Hughes believed she was content when she gave up life in a hippy commune to marry safe reliable Tom. But when Tom dies suddenly everything she holds precious is thrown into question. Mags comes home to organise her mother, the funeral, the falling apart house and meets Tony, a man with the power to melt her frozen heart. Freddie, the love of Jen's life and Mags' long lost father, drifts back into their lives, stirring unwelcome memories and awaking buried emotions, while even the old house has hidden things to reveal. The same story is told by both mother and daughter, a pair with a deep bond of love but very different views about life and how it needs to be lived.
