Some novels are not about what happens next. They are about what endures: the families we build, the homes we make, the connections that survive loss and time. This collection of emotionally intelligent fiction unites three of the warmest novels Steel, Montefiore and Pilcher have written. Read one and you will gallop through the other two.
Danielle Steel, 'Lost and Found' - A divorced photographer drives cross-country to track down three old loves before choosing her future.
Santa Montefiore, 'The Temptation of Gracie' - A Tuscan cookery course draws a widow back to a decades-old secret and lost love.
Rosamunde Pilcher, 'The Shell Seekers' - A treasured painting forces a mother and her three grown children to confront old wounds.
