When her grown children learn their grandfather’s work is now worth a fortune, each has an idea as to what Penelope should do. Publisher’s DescriptionĪt the end of a long and useful life, Penelope Keeling’s prized possession is The Shell Seekers, painted by her father, and symbolizing her unconventional life, from bohemian childhood to wartime romance. I loved the slow reveal of her life told over decades and I know that I’ll be rereading this in years to come. Penelope is truly an unforgettable character. The Shell Seekers moves between past and present, revisiting various times in Penelope’s life, including her Bohemian youth during World War II. Her adult children have their own ideas about what she should do about the discovery. They were absolutely right! The premise of this book doesn’t seem like much: Penelope discovers that her father’s painting is worth a small fortune. I chose this book as my cozy read for my 2021 More Joy, Less Stress Reading Challenge after hearing from so many readers that it fit the bill. Please see Disclosures for more information.
