When it comes to penetrating and portraying timeless

complexities and dilemmas of everyday life,

Joanna Trollope has no equal. In Girl from the South,

her vibrant new novel, she crosses the Atlantic and

displays her signature nuance, style and warmth in

a story of the boundaries between men and women,

England and America, and what happens when we

test the limits of family, friendship and love.

Gillon Stokes is a girl from the South, yet with her

lack of convention and her disregard for makeup

and the traditions of Southern femininity, she defies

stereotype. When Gillon flees Charleston for a summer

stint in London, she is befriended by the

assured yet insecure Tilly. But when it's time for

Gillon to return home, Tilly's boyfriend, Henry, follows

her. A photographer, he falls in love with the wildlife

of the South Carolina marshes, the Stokes family

and the entire South. And it is through his loving lens

that everything is seen afresh and transformed.
