The Rising sisters - the Daffodil Girls - are older now. The anguish of growing up in the twenties has gone. All three are - apparently - happily married and there are children to swell the vibrant Rising family. But the problems that had begun in youth still remained. March, the eldest and the most difficult, loves but cannot trust her clever, manipulating husband. He deserted her once and she has never quite forgiven him. May has her own worries - a son who seems more than usually promiscuous, and a husband who grows more attractive and handsome even as she approaches her fortieth birthday. April has a husband she loves, and two small, gentle daughters. But she is the only one who knows that Davina is not her husband's child. As the country heads towards unsettling times, can they find the strength and unity they'll need? Bluebell Windows is the third book in the Rising Family sequence and is followed by Rosemary for Remembrance. The story began in A Scattering of Daisies and The Daffodils of Newent.

The twins were born in war-torn Plymouth in 1944, two little girls whose parents didn't altogether want them. Their childhood as evacuee babies, then at boarding school, then living with their Aunt Maggie, made them grow up uniquely self-sufficient. They didn't need anyone else. They had each other. Miranda was the vibrant, flamboyant one, determined never to conform or be dull and conventional. Meg was quieter, more self-effacing. But Meg always knew when anything bad was happening to Miranda. As they grew up, the bond between them held - until Meg moved to Cornwall to buy a house, to paint, to fall in love. And for the first time a rift broached their special relationship. Their lives shifted - Miranda trapped into domesticity, and Meg - feeling herself betrayed - sought a new path to unexpected success. But the link was still there, in spite of all that was to happen, in spite of violence and tragedy, and finally it led to happiness that came when they had ceased to expect it...
