Travellan...Her father's ancient Cornish home is the only constant in Jennie Veryan's young life, and Mark Curnow is her only love--though it seems she must lose them both. A proud and old family, the Veryans break up her romance with the land agent's son, for Jennie is the heiress to the estate. Or so it seems. In 1950 an incredible rumour draws Jennie to Singapore, scene of her father's disappearance in the maelstrom of the Japanese occupation. And in her quest to discover the truth of her father's fate she uncovers a secret so shameful it threatens exile from Trevellan for ever. With its richly evoked backgrounds, sweeping narrative and enduring romance HER FATHER'S HOUSE is the long-awaited successor to THE SEVENTH WAVE.
