Acute, witty, thoughtful and poignant, Rosamunde Pilcher explores the hearts and minds of ordinary people with extraordinary perception.
A girl on the threshold of marriage is given some unorthodox advice by her grandmother. A small boy takes on the burden of man of the house. A young husband tries to juggle the joys of marriage with the comforts of bachelorhood. A chance meeting on the ski-slops gives a young woman the courage to grasp life’s opportunities with both hands. And there are many more: stories of small domestic dramas as important in their way as world crises; stories of love and loss, happiness and despair.
All the talents that her readers have loved, the characters they have identified with, are brought by Rosamunde Pilcher to this enchanting book.
