Santa Montefiore. His Achilles' heel, however, was people. Father William Hancock had once told him: "It's no good being so heavenly minded as to be no earthly good. You have to learn how to relate to people, Miles, on their level, otherwise you might as well become a monk. The bishop had sent him out to be among the people to spread the word of God. He pushed his glasses up his nose, determined not to let him down. They're getting rather rich, I believe. My three-year-old son, nicknamed Bouncy because his feet are made of springs, is down on the beach with Nanny. They should be up soon, and Celestria, my niece Perhaps she's with her mother, Pamela, who's married to Archie and Penelope's brother Monty. She's in bed with a migraine. She suffers from them, I'm afraid. She might come down later. She's American. She doubted whether Father Dalgliesh would meet Pamela at all, as she wasn't Catholic and abhorred the Church, which she thought a waste of time. He's a wonderful character, and I hope you'll meet him. You'll certainly meet Harry and Celestria, their children. Harry sings rather beautifully and is in the choir at school. Soames stepped through the doors with a tray of drinks. When he handed Father Dalgliesh a glass of elderflower, Julia noticed that the young priest's hands were trembling. It wasn't long before Wilfrid and Sam, Julia and Archie's elder sons, returned from the woods with Harry. Exuberant after a morning building camps and setting traps, they were ruddy cheeked and sparkly eyed. It was all too easy to make jokes about Pamela without considering her children. It was true. When Monty was there, Pamela's migraines miraculously disappeared. Amid the idyll that was Pendrift, Monty came and went, arriving on the p. He'd arrive smiling raffishly beneath the brim of his panama hat, his pale linen suit crumpled from the train, a newspaper clamped under one arm, carrying only his briefcase and all the cheerfulness in the world. Pamela's moods would lift like the gray mist that sometimes hung over Pendrift before the sun burned through, but she behaved as badly as ever, making demands, swinging the conversation around to herself at every opportunity. She was spoiled and self-centered, being the only daughter of wealthy American businessman Richard W. Bancroft II. The boys took Purdy the Labrador down to the beach to play cricket just as Nanny returned up the path with Bouncy and Celestria. Father Dalgliesh's lips parted in wonder as he watched the celestial figure of the beautiful young woman walking towards him. To his shame his heartbeat accelerated and the color rose in his cheeks. He hoped it was the midday heat that had caused his sudden agitation. Celestria wore a short red-and-white polka-dot skirt and a halter-neck top that exposed her midriff. Her blond hair was loose, falling in waves over smooth brown shoulders, and she walked as if she had not a care in the world. He could not see her eyes, which were hidden behind large, white-framed sunglasses. When Bouncy heard his mother's voice he let go of Nanny's hand and ran up the path, squealing with excitement. When the little boy realized he had an audience he put his hands on his hips and began a funny, jaunty walk, wiggling his bottom and grinning, peering up from under thick lashes. Everyone clapped and roared with laughter. Bouncy was the child who united them all. His mischievous smile, inherited from Julia, could melt an entire winter. He had thick sandy hair and soft brown eyes the color of homemade fudge. He loved to show off and was encouraged to do so, though it exasperated Nanny that he tore his clothes off at any opportunity and ran around naked. He spoke with a lisp that was irresistibly sweet. Julia and Pamela, who had little in common besides the fact that they had married brothers, had discovered a bridge in Bouncy. Celestria followed, still laughing and clapping her hands. Father Dalgliesh stared at her as if bewitched. Celestria removed her sunglasses and hooked them into her cleavage, then extended her hand to the priest. Father Hancock was as old as Nanny! The sea's delicious this morning. Cold but refreshing. Unpredictable, that's what it is. Father Dalgliesh watched her go and found he was able to breathe again. Celestria's beauty was indeed remarkable. It wasn't just her thick blond hair that glistened like the cornfields around Pendrift, or her clear gray eyes that had never been marred by a single moment of unhappiness, or her generous mouth and fine bones that gave her face definition, but the way she held herself. Her poise was cool and confident and superior, nothing so brash as arrogant, simply that she was aware of her place in the world and confident of other people's high regard for her. She was twenty-one and, according to her mother, "balancing precariously on the edge of womanhood. She was already a famous beauty, well established on the London party scene, having come out when she was eighteen. There was many a hopeful man who entertained ideas of marriage. Most looked at her intensely and treated her like porcelain, which she found rather silly, except for Aidan Cooney, of course, whose eyes were filled with something darker than admiration. But Celestria was more than an English beauty. She had something of the exotic about her, which men found irresistible. Concerned for her safety, her mother had taken her to New York when war broke out. They had lived with Pamela's parents in a Park Avenue penthouse with ceilings so tall Celestria could barely see them and splendid views over Central Park. For six years she had been her grandfather's delight. He had long since lost his daughter to Monty and England, so he relished having a little girl around the house and showered her with attention and presents that came in boxes, wrapped with tissue paper, smelling of new. He was the father she had lost to the war, the father she could embrace while hers was overseas and in wafer-thin envelopes that arrived sporadically to make her mother cry. Celestria learned to weave her charm and throw it over whole roomfuls of people like a fisherman setting his net, drawing it in little by little until she had ensnared each and every one. She learned to enchant and enthrall, understanding very early on what her grandfather expected of her. His applause was addictive, and she drank his love and grew dizzy. She was shown off to guests before dinner, presented aged seven by her governess with her hair in ringlets, her dress pressed, and her shoes shiny, and her grandfather's pride was as sweet as candy. She sang songs and blushed when they all clapped. It was easy to manipulate people. They thought she was too young to be aware of her charisma, but she knew how pretty she was, and it didn't take long to realize that by mimicking adults she could win their admiration. Amid all the pretense her grandfather was never fooled. He knew her better than her own mother did, and understood her more compassionately. He took an interest in every aspect of her life, inspiring in her a love of books by reading to her every night before bed, and later lending her the classics he had adored as a child. He was not a musical man, lamenting that he had never had the luxury of learning an instrument, but he had a deep appreciation that he nurtured with regular evenings at the opera. He took Celestria to the ballet when she was only five and personally supervised her piano lessons. No detail escaped him, however small. He encouraged her at school, praised her triumphs, and showed his disappointment when she let herself down. But he never once let her forget how fiercely he loved her. Pamela Bancroft Montague seemed incapable of loving anyone more than she loved herself. It wasn't her fault. The trouble was her parents had spoiled her. She had learned to be selfish, to believe she was the center of the universe, so there wasn't much room for anyone else. She loved Celestria as an extension of herself; that was a love she instinctively understood. Her husband spoiled her, too. She shone like a jewel, and he treasured her as one. She had a captivating beauty, the sort of beauty that struck fear into the hearts of both men and women. Men found such loveliness indomitable, and women knew their own beauty lost its luster in the light of hers. Celestria didn't miss her father in those early years. She had arrived in America as a two-year-old and returned to London when she was eight. She couldn't even remember what he looked like. She had missed her grandfather when she left New York, treasuring the week they spent every autumn at the fairy-tale castle he had bought in Scotland to shoot and stalk, and the annual holiday at the Bancroft family home on the island of Nantucket. Like her mother, she learned to love herself more. When Monty tried to make up with presents for the years of estrangement, she accepted them gladly, manipulating him with little kisses and charming smiles of gratitude. Then he gave her mother a little boy: Harry. From the moment Harry was born, Pamela Bancroft Montague discovered that she could love someone more than she loved herself. Celestria didn't feel eclipsed by her new brother; she was still basking in the bright glare of her grandfather's love. When Celestria returned, wearing a simple white dress embroidered with daisies, the family were taking their seats for lunch at a long table beneath a big square sunshade. Father Dalgliesh was placed at the head, Archie at the foot. Sea of Heartbreak - Wikipedia

Oct 22, Natasa rated it liked it Shelves: regency-romance , world-war-ii-and-i , romance , italy , all-things-england-uk , owned-books. It took time for me to become interested in this story. I felt too many of the characters were flat, uninteresting, and unreal. However, I found the second half of the book very interesting. Apr 07, Laurie rated it it was ok. The plot sounds great on the cover, but ultimately it was a disappointment. The characters, including the main heroine, are pretty shallow. The story of her searching for her father sounds like it should be engrossing, but oddly wasn't. The hero she falls in love with is pretty stereotypical and underwhelming.

A good girly read 3. I was in the mood for a relaxed, girly romantic read though and the cover and summary suggested that this might fit my requirements- it just screams tranquil days on a beach. We meet various characters, A good girly read 3. Despite this though, she remains a rather shallow and fickle character- until the apparent suicide of her father. Celestria is convinced that Monty never would have killed himself and sets out to unravel the mystery of what really happened, on a journey that takes her from Cornwall to London to remote Southern Italy. I found this to be quite an engaging read. The descriptions were good, if perhaps a little bit flowery in places and the characters were fairly well drawn. I appreciated the journey that Celestria made through the novel as she remains the main protagonist and the reader gets to know her the best. I also loved Mrs Waynebridge Waynie. I felt that the settings of Cornwall and Italy were well-depicted, though this book has made me long for a holiday! I also liked how preconceptions of some of the other characters were turned on their heads as the story progressed. Overall, though this was a good read, as an atheist I did find some of the religious overtones and constant references to Catholicism and the church to be a bit much. Also, some bits of the plot were admittedly a bit contrived for my liking and I did find that the romantic aspect of the story seemed a bit rushed- again, down to personal preference more than anything else. Nevertheless, if you are looking for a good girly read to curl up with and while away a few hours and you are a fan of Cathy Kelly or Erica James, then you could certainly do a lot worse than give this book a go too. I think this would make a great holiday book- especially if you are fortunate enough to be sat in the sun whilst reading it! I picked up an advanced reader copy of this at work. It's not my normal thing, which I could tell right away, but Ipushed on anyway. It wasn't awful, necessarily -- just very predictable. Whether it was the fate of the main character's father, the love stories, the twists, what-have-you; every plot point was quite easy to guess. I thought the style was Noel Barber-lite; it lacked the historical depth and epic quality, but it there was something about it which felt similar. The romance of this boo I picked up an advanced reader copy of this at work. The romance of this book was extremely cringe-worthy, in my opinion, but not off-putting enough to make me stop reading it. I did like the female characters though. They were flawed, not the complete caricatures they could've been, yet you empathized with them. That helped the book, in my opinion. Also, for as much as it wasn't my normal thing, I could not help but get sucked into it. Overall, it's something to read if you just want something extremely light. I actually quite liked this, considering this is not me favourite genre, but I did find myself quite happily becoming distracted by the goings on in the book. Yes, the plot twists weren't exactly original and you could see them coming a mile off - yes, you knew everyone would have a happy ending - and yes, the main character learned a rather obvious life lesson.

My only niggles was Celestria's sudden falling in love - that's the only thing that wasn't really set up well ahead of time except by the conventions of the genre! To me, there was no real justification given for her sudden change of mind - it just felt odd. And I also thought they let Monty get away with too mush - without giving the plot away, I would never have ended the investigation there and the reason given was a bit weak. But apart from that, a relatively good read and an author I will probably return to again in the future. So this started as a 4 and finished as a 2. Record Research.
