The loving spirit by Daphne du Maurier

5.0

Imagine if One Hundred Years of Solitude and Wuthering Heights had a baby who loved sunshine and the sea. Multigenerational epic celebrating family life and the ways that our beloved dead can continue to inspire and encourage us. The Coombes tend to rebel against social constraints and love sailing and being in nature, though they also tend to marry conventional people who cling to civilization, and the idea that they can civilize the Coombe family.
