Pilcher is always a good read

Reading Wild Mountain Thyme and I stay interested with every turn of page. Read Shell Seekers years ago and think the movie was terrible. She will always be one of my top 5 favorite authors. mary :)

Pilcher's a Treasure

I thought I had read every one of Rosamunde Pilcher's masterpieces but I recently came upon "The Day Of The Storm" and was happy to have another chance to relish in another Pilcher novel. I found that I couldn't put the book down once I began reading it and so neglected things I needed to get done. Once again, the story is brilliantly told with interesting characters and a fascinating plot. I'll keep searching just in case I've missed another Pilcher creation and hopefully I'll find one.

Call me crazy but I read this book twice within six months!

First of all, I love Rosemund Pilcher. The main characters in her stories are all so good and sweet (I know, this one did have a villain) AND her books always have happy endings. Sometimes, when I want to escape into a good book, I want a fairy tale and DAY OF THE STORM is definitely a fairy tale. This book is such easy reading--I read it on the airplane--very easy to get into. Pilcher is the best when it comes to character development and while reading this story, you will come to love Grenville, Joss, and especially Rebecca.

The ultimate romantic page-turner !

If you're not familiar with Rosamunde Pilcher yet, waste no time and buy yourself a sample of her spellbinding work ! It has it all : the warmth, the cosiness, the romance, and even the suspense. In "Under Gemini", meet sensible Flora, who discovers she has a twin sister she had never known about, the glamorous Rose, and suddenly finds herself in a whirlwind of deceipt, drama, confusion, and... love. And you will be mesmerised by "The Empty House" and "The Day of the Storm", two compelling stories about love and the pursuit of happiness. PS : The good news is : Rosamunde Pilcher has published lots of other novels and short stories : you have hours of cosy cocooning ahead of you !

The Day of the Storm

This was the first book of Pilcher's that I have read, she is a very talented writer. The confused and very human caracter, was easy to feel sympathic towards, as she struggles to find out about her recently discoverd family. She digs deep into the family's past, uncovering many deep and unforgotten angers. As all this is happening, she herself is trying to decide what this means to her, she has a family now but will it be one for long?The Day of the Storm was a thoroughly enjoyable expirence, an unforgetable novel. I could not put the book down, it makes you want to find out just like she does.A journey through someone elses life is always a good escape.
