Now in Print & eBook: The Anthropologist’s Daughter by Vanessa Furse Jackson

Vancouver, WA, July 09, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Barking Rain Press, a non-profit fiction publisher, announced the paperback and eBook release of "The Anthropologist’s Daughter" by UK author Vanessa Furse Jackson. "The Anthropologist’s Daughter" is the second book in the "Imogen Hearne" series and is set about twenty-five years before the events in "The Revolving Year," which was the first book. Ms. Furse Jackson hopes to complete the trilogy with a final installment, set about twenty years after "The Revolving Year."

How do you help someone who is grieving, when you are grieving yourself? After the death of her mother, ten-year-old Imogen Hearne moves from London with her older sister, Rosalind, and her father to Farleigh, a rural village in North Devon where her father’s family has deep roots. Her father hides his grief by burying himself in his work at the university, while Rosalind vents her anguish by acting up and running off with friends — leaving Immy to fend for herself.

To pass the time, Immy decides to take after her father and become an anthropologist, studying the different ways that people manage grief. As she wanders through the village and the countryside to study the locals, she watches, listens, and makes notes, looking for clues she can use to bring her fractured family back together again. This moving prequel to "The Revolving Year" is a welcome reunion with familiar and much-loved characters and places.
