The Wild Irises tells the story of how a hundred years of Armsted family life have been shaped by dark secrets.
Escaping an unhappy relationship, Iris leaves London to research the facts of her mother’s tragic death. She returns to the remote, mysterious – and sometimes treacherous - Littern Island, where she explores the past and uncovers layers of concealment - and finally - the truth about her own identity.
She faces hostility from those who could help her and struggles to build a new life for herself and her family within the island community.
Can Iris find the strength and determination to continue her search for the truth? Can she accept that only forgiveness can free her to discover that love isn’t always the unsatisfactory affair she has believed it to be?
S.J. Richfield gained a degree in English Literature in the 1970’s before post-graduate training and working in London for a religious book publishing company.
After several years, she moved to the West Country where she took a diploma in Counselling, studied poetry and worked as a private tutor in English and Study Skills.
She now lives in Devon with her family and draws inspiration for her spirituality and writing from the local landscape, especially the sea.

I was sorry to see that the one person who rated this book gave it a 2. It is wordy and deserves a good editor. It could probably be cut in half. Still the plot is good and the characters interesting. I was drawn in and read all 800+ pages. I think it could have been cut in half, and I hope this author's second book will be shorter. The pacing is also a bit off. Several generations are covered in the first 200 pages or so, and then the last 600 pages consists of only about 20 years. I could say more, but would be giving away the plot.Product details

Too wordy, too long, strange. Sorry, not my type of book and I'm a mystery lover.
Since I love to listen on my kindle in the middle of the night, the narrator lulled me to sleep using her British accent in this character loaded nice story.
Although the story does drag some, the word pictures and descriptions of weather, flowers, sea, and surrounding areas are superb. Even if the story seemed long, it was the wonderful use of language that got me caught up. Even the emotions, especially of the young girls. I'd read her again and not worry on the length.
While longer than it needed to be, and with almost constant mention of rising and falling tides and how they affected the coming and going to the island, I did enjoy the book. It's a story beautifully written, though at times a bit repetitive. It's a "gentle" story of love, families, and one women's search to learn the truth about her mother's death and in the end who she was as a wife, mother, and daughter.
