SOME FRIENDSHIPS REALLY DO STAND THE TEST OF TIME. WILL THEIRS?

The four of them were close when they worked together in the 1960s: Natasha, Prudence, Rachel, and Maisie.

Now, twenty years later, Natasha, newly divorced and back from America with a fifteen-year-old daughter, decides there must be a reunion.

Pru, always the mysterious one, deeply involved with her commune in Cornwall, unexpectedly offers to host at Prospect House, a property she has inherited in the Malvern Hills.

Rachel, married to her former boss, a Liberal MP, gladly leaves a tangled domestic situation to join the friends she hasn’t seen for so long.

And Maisie … Maisie, perhaps the most vulnerable of the four, mother of five children, married to the unpredictable Edward, fails to arrive at Prospect House.

The drama of her disappearance has a far-reaching effect on the lives and destinies of them all.

The four women are reunited for the first time in twenty years at Prospect House, a beautiful country house in the Malvern Hills.

Natasha, Prudence, Rachel, and Maisie were close friends in the 1960s, but their lives have taken different paths over the years.

Natasha is newly divorced and has returned to England with her fifteen-year-old daughter, while Prudence is still living in the commune she founded in Cornwall.

Rachel is married to her former boss, a Liberal MP, and is struggling with a tangled domestic situation.

Maisie, the most vulnerable of the four, is a mother of five children and is married to the unpredictable Edward.

As the women settle into Prospect House, tensions begin to rise. Natasha is determined to make the reunion a success, but Prudence is hesitant to get involved.

Rachel is eager to reconnect with her old friends, but Maisie is missing. Natasha and Prudence search for Maisie, but they are unable to find her.

As the days pass, the women begin to unravel the secrets of their past and the reasons for Maisie's disappearance. They discover that Maisie was involved in a scandal that rocked their community in the 1960s and that she has been hiding from her past ever since.

The women are forced to confront their own demons and the consequences of their actions as they work together to find Maisie and bring her home.

In the end, the women are able to reunite and heal the wounds of their past. They realize that their friendship is stronger than ever and that they can overcome any obstacle that comes their way.

Come Rain or Shine is a magnificent and sweeping novel that explores the power of friendship and the importance of confronting our past. Susan Sallis has created a cast of characters that are flawed and complex, but ultimately lovable.

This novel is a must-read for anyone who loves a good story and a strong sense of community.
