Book Review: Take A Trip Into the Comforting World of Rosamunde Pilcher
Summary: 4 Stars

If you long for the warmth of an aga, dream of afternoon tea with freshly baked scones dripping with hot butter and Devonshire cream, and imagine gathering the dogs for an afternoon run through fields of heather, then Rosamunde Pilcher will surely delight you.

This is one of her earlier works, written years before she became an international best- seller, yet no less enjoyable in its own way. This is the story of young Jane Marsh who loses her mother and travels the US with her vagabond father for seven years. When the story picks up, Jane is twenty-one and called home to Elvie, her grandmother's lush estate in her native Scotland.

Jane is reunited not only with her beloved maternal grandmother, but also with Sinclair, the dashingly handsome cousin she has loved for a long as she can remember. His proposal of marriage is offset by revelations Jane uncovers about his character. A late-night phone call, a missing book, and the problem of an aging caretaker help Jane see Sinclair in a different light.

Meanwhile, there is David Stewart, the dependable family solicitor who is always there with his competence, his dependability, and his growing infatuation with Jane.

Illusions are shattered and new alliances formed as the reader enjoys a cozy romance as only Rosamunde Pilcher can deliver.

Summary of The End Of Summer

When you read a novel by Rosamunde Pilcher you enter a special world where emotions sing from the heart. A world that lovingly captures the ties that bind us to one another-the joys and sorrows, heartbreaks and misunderstandings, and glad, perfect moments when we are in true harmony. A world filled with evocative, engrossing, and above all, enjoyable portraits of people's lives and loves, tenderly laid open for us...

After years in the United States, Jane returns to the tranquil Scottish estate, Elvie, where she spent a magical childhood. Memories of Elvie had always summoned the image of Sinclair, the rakish man Jane had once dreamed of marrying, but now that she is home, she finds Sinclair a different man. His charm has a purpose, and Jane can no longer trust him...or herself.
