Girl from the South - by Joanna Trollope (Paperback)

About the Book

This is a wonderful story of family traditions in conflict, of new beginnings, and of the way whole families can fall in love with a person.

Book Synopsis

In the sultry landscapes of Charleston, South Carolina, a captivating tale of love and self-discovery unfolds.

When Gillon comes back to her native Charleston, she has a young Englishman in tow. He has accompanied her on a lark, planning to take pictures. But he soon falls in love with the sights of South Carolina, with Gillon's family-and perhaps, with Gillon herself...

From the acclaimed author of Marrying the Mistress, this is an unforgettable novel about feeling like a fish out of water and finding those with whom we can breathe more easily.
