Santa Montefiore's involving and dramatic novel The Butterfly Box opens in Vina del Mar, Chile, in the sweltering summer of 1982. Frederica is six years old and adores her father Ramon. He is a charismatic, good-looking adventurer who is due home after a long sojourn abroad. Frederica struggles to contain her excitement. Her mother, Helena, travelled with the glamorous Ramon Campione in the heady early days of their relationship; Ramon, a writer and photographer, travels the world and has sacrificed his family for his work. Over the years of growing disillusionment with their relationship, Helena endures his long absences waiting with the children in Chile. On his return, Ramon brings Frederica a gift: a magical box containing coruscating crystals in the form of a beautiful butterfly. According to legend, the butterfly once belonged to an Inca princess. Helena abandons her husband and returns to Cornwall with the children, and the Butterfly Box is now Frederica's sole connection with her past and her father. In Cornwall, Frederica grows up and falls in love with Sam Appleby and, later, the saturnine and charming Torquil Jensen. The lacerating relationship that follows forces her into a punishing voyage of self-discovery during which she learns the true lesson of the Butterfly Box.

As a young girl, Jennie Veryan finds refuge from the turmoil of World War II in her father's ancestral home, Trevellan, on the Cornish coast. There she adapts to her new life with the help of the estate agent's son, Mark. When Jennie and Mark fall in love, her tradition-bound family disapproves. Her aunt and cousin see her as a rival to take over Trevellan, and they scheme to break up the relationship and discredit Jennie. Separated from Mark by lies and misunderstandings, Jennie makes a life of her own as an artist, but she and Mark seem fated to cross paths, although always at the wrong time. After several tragedies and scandals, they are finally reunited and return to Trevellan. This book, which is an American debut for its pseudonymous British author, unfolds in rather episodic fashion. But fans of romantic family sagas should enjoy this story of tested and enduring love.?

Every year, at Halloween, high on the Cornish cliffs, a life-sized effigy of a man is strapped to a blazing wheel and run into the sea - a re-enactment of a hideous old legend where the figure had been a living sacrifice. And now Jonathan Riddle, well-known and respected local builder and undertaker, has disappeared - and it seems all too likely that his corpse has gone the way of the historic 'scapegoat'. As Chief Superintendent Wycliffe begins to investigate, more and more unpleasant facts emerge until he is left with an incredible, and seemingly impossible, solution . . .
