A warm, engaging, and love-infused historical timeslip romance set around the WW1 commemoration, told with sensitivity, bittersweet humour, and authenticity by Jill Marshall, bestselling author of the Jane Blonde series.
When the lives of three people unexpectedly intertwine one summer at Hadleigh Hall in Cornwall, history begins to ripple outward-like a stone dropped into the estate's famous lily pond.
Poppy Moss doesn't want to be there at all. But it's the summer holidays, her parents are away, and with her recent past still weighing heavily on her, she has no choice but to stay-whether she likes it or not.
Tariq, however, is more than content at Hadleigh. He enjoys the art, the tennis, and the eccentric mix of people around him-well, one person in particular. More importantly, he has a puzzle to solve and a long-held promise to keep.
Then there is Robbie, quietly content in the estate's green and blooming gardens. He tends his precious plants, watching the comings and goings at the big house from a safe distance... back in 1914.
Three lives. Two eras. One summer that will change everything.
As past and present begin to intertwine, love, war, and long-buried truths emerge, revealing just how fragile-and powerful-human connection can be.
From Jill Marshall's YA collection, Pineapple is a young adult historical timeslip romance that explores love, loss, and the enduring need for understanding and respect across time.
