Summary

One of Rosamunde Pilcher's classic novels.

Laura, newly married and ever conscious she may be living in the shadow of her husband Alec's first wife, decides to take a holiday with his family in Cornwall.

Through the long hot summer days, she is slowly charmed by the beautiful old house and the people she learns to know and love. In time her uneasy spirit is soothed by the sparkling, brilliant sea, and her restless heart finally calmed. But is this newfound tranquillity too good to be true? For with the arrival of an anonymous letter, one accusing her of having an affair, Laura's world is thrown into turmoil.

Poignant

I felt this was a very intuitive book. Rather sad at times but the story was good and it was well worth a read. It covered a lot of potentially 'real' situations plus some more extraordinary ones.

Pilcher at her best

An enthralling story beautifully written. The characters are so richly and vividly described that you feel you know them. So too her descriptions of places. Classic Pilcher magic

Narrator

This is the second audible I have listened to by the narrator, her simpering voices ruins the story. All the men sound the same as though they have something stuck in their throats, it ruins the character. The word at the end of the sentences go up with a sort of laugh. I shall only listen to Pilcher audible if different narrator

If you like Rosamund Pilcher, you'll enjoy this.

I'm a Rosamund Pilcher fan, so I enjoyed this audio book - not for everyone, i would imagine, if you prefer a grittier story. She paints such a great picture, you feel as if you're there and with lovely characters, that you feel you know and great narrator,

The best so far

This is by far the best story I've heard by this author to date. The prissy voice of the narrator irritates but the plot carries things along.
