Description of Peregrine Island by Diane B. Saxton

The Peregrine family’s lives are turned upside down one summer when so-called “art experts” appear on the doorstep of their Connecticut island home to appraise a favorite heirloom painting. When incriminating papers, as well as other paintings, are discovered behind the artwork in question, the appraisal turns into a full-fledged investigation. Antagonism mounts between grandmother, mother, and child, who begin to suspect one another, as well as the shady newcomers in their midst, of foul play.

As the summer progresses and the Peregrines discover facts about their past in the course of the investigation, they learn that people―including them―are not always who they appear to be. But when they uncover the painting’s deepest secret, it gives them the gift of love that they have unconsciously been seeking all along.

Praise for Peregrine Island by Diane B. Saxton

“Vanity Fair and Huffington Post journalist Saxton keeps the reader guessing until the novel’s conclusion, which reveals the unexpected ways in which the two families are intertwined in the past as well as the present.”– BOOKLIST  Lindsay Harmon

“I was immediately captivated by the salt-drenched air and nuanced beauty of Peregrine Island. Inhabited by three generations of women―a spirited girl, a prodigal daughter, and a matriarch―haunted by a work of art, this story is reminiscent of the best of Daphne du Maurier. In lush prose, Diane B.Saxton reveals a family ripe with secrets on the cusp of discovering atempestuous past. A lovely novel!“
—Katharine Davis, author of Capturing Paris, A Slender Thread and East Hope

“As the layers of mystery and history surrounding an heirloom painting are peeled back, a riveting drama fraught with accusations of greed and distrust, and laced with ripe passion, unfolds. ‪Peregrine Island is told through the eyes of three generations of family members, silently bound by their unflinching gazes and ultimately tender insights on the meaning of love and family, reaching across time and space, stripped down to their essence on the raw, blustery shores of the Sound.”–Ann Volkwein, author of The Arthur Avenue Cookbook and Chinatown New York

 About Diane B. Saxton

DIANE B. SAXTON was a journalist with Vanity Fair UK, Holiday Magazine, and Greenwich Review, and covered everything from torture victims to psychics, animal rights activists, exotic travel, and movie producers. A new chapter opened up for her after interviewing Amnesty International US founder Hannah Grunwald.

Alarmed that the stories of incredible and influential lives such as Grunwald’s could be lost as the Greatest Generation passes, Saxton began capturing their histories and compiled them into a 1,000 page biographical collection, which became the inspiration for her next novel. She brings the same gift for storytelling with illuminating subtext to her debut novel, PEREGRINE ISLAND. Saxton divides her time between New York City and the Berkshires, where she lives with her husband, dogs and horses.
