商品描述: Within this tale about nine generations of the Lockeby family, the reader travels with family members as they live in eighteenth century England, with future generations travelling to many countries but returning to a far different twenty-first century England, ultimately journeying to outback Australia. This volume of five stories (each a complete story in itself) tells of a compelling segment of the life of a family member with their familial connection to the original Lockeby written at the beginning of each new part. The story begins with the first Lockeby we meet hurrying to the bedside of his daughter, only to cause another serious accident in his haste. This series of happenings begins a chain of events, exposing how the personality of the female was sometimes twisted to deal with the laws of the time. This resulted in either a comfortable situation for the time or alternatively developed a warped environment. The stories in between the first Lockeby we meet and the last we meet tell of the effects of World War One and World War Two on the relevant personalities. As generations pass, the final saga tells the story of a Lockeby descendant giving birth to twins who were separated soon after birth by a horrendous method of deception and how that lie impacted on lives. The Lockeby gene ultimately once again leaves England but the events of a bygone era seem to be repeating themselves.
