My Pilcher Fix

I've been a Rosamunde Pilcher fan for twenty years. I love her writing style, her characters and settings. This book is a collection of some of her fabulous short stories that leave you wanting to read more. I am so glad to add it to my collection!

Achingly Lovely

Rosamunde Pilcher has a gift for telling a story like nobody else. These stories, first published in the Eighties, are as lovely to read as any of her recent best-sellers, and every bit as riveting.I first read this collection years ago, but I had forgotten the stories, forgotten how Pilcher can describe a bedroom, a drawing room, a beach, a sunny day, a cloudy day, an aging spaniel in its basket. When I am deep into a Pilcher story, I can taste the soothing cups of tea. In each story, I am there, as I imagine every reader must be as well. I am simply transported, just as I am when reading her books.I simply marvel at the sheer simplicity of Pilcher's writing. It is so deceptive. Her stories seem to be mere pieces of fluff, but in fact, they are so much more. I already knew that, of course, but I had to be reminded how wonderful her short stories are to read. I cherish this small paperback, and will never let it go.

A Collection of Rosamunde Pilcher's Best!

This collection of short stories is one of my favorites. I have the original hard cover edition (I picked it up for 25 cents at our local library many years ago) and I wouldn't think of parting with it. This is the book I go back to whenever I want a quick but satisfying read or just need to feel "cozy and comfortable". I agree that these stories don't have the depth of Ms. Pilcher's novels, they are still pure Pilcher, with situations and characters with whom the reader can relate. Stories such as "Home for the Day", "Christmas with Miss Cameron" and "An Evening to Remember" will enchant the reader time and time again.

A great read.

This is a collection of short stories. While the stories do not have the depth that her longer novels have the stories are quick to read and are great portraits of life and love.
