Gloria Cook returns to eighteenth-century Cornwall in Pengarron's Children, carrying the family saga into a generation that inherits both the estate and its unresolved quarrels.
The novel sets landowners, tenants and outsiders against a coastal landscape that shapes work, marriage and reputation alike. Long-held secrets surface as younger characters push against what earlier ones arranged, and Cook keeps several strands of romance, rivalry and duty moving together until the household has to decide what it will hold on to.
Points that stand out:
• Historical family saga by Gloria Cook, continuing the Pengarron sequence
• Set in rural and coastal Cornwall during the eighteenth century
• Multi-generational plotting that weaves romance with inheritance and class
• Canelo Books English edition
Readers of Cornish historical fiction and long family sagas will find the Canelo Books edition at Boipoka.
