It's fascinating to hear how the community functions especially during the harsh winter months. I was pleased when she and Henry proved him wrong!īut I still very much enjoyed it! The action takes place in Scotland and the descriptions of this wild and beautiful place are second to none. Believing that his difference in age allowed him to make monumentous family decisions without consulting his wife, and then declaring her over-wrought when she disagreed with that decision. I found him patronising towards his wife Virginia. Having thought he was just a slightly cold fish, I disliked him intensely in this reading. My biggest sea change was towards Edmund. Maybe Rosamund Pilcher wasn't ready to be finished with him yet?The book touched on the aftermath of his mother's death and we do see a shift in him from a superficial status to a life filled with something more meaningful.

He is not a particularly pleasant character in The Shell Seekers, so it is interesting that he pops up here. The books are all standalone novels, but one of the characters from the Shell Seekers does feature here - Noel Keeling. I've very much enjoyed this challenge and have already spotted a number of themes running through the 4 novels. Read my Previous review of September by Rosamunde Pilcher Would my thoughts have changed? Well yes as it turns out.

I have read September on the blog before. What will happen when the party is over? My Thoughts The one who might have had an affair with Alexa's father. But they arrive to find everyone agog at the reappearance of Pandora. And the opportunity to introduce her new boyfriend to her family. Read my review of Summer's Choice - The Shell Seekers Plot (From the Back) A birthday party provides the excuse for Alexa to return to Scotland for the first time in years. Read my review of Spring's Choice - Coming Home It is Autumn's turn and so we read September. We read a Rosamund Pilcher book according to the season it feels mostly aligned to. This year I am taking part in the #pilcherseasons challenge over on Instagram. Rediscovering classics and seeing brand new themes and in some cases finding that a book that spoke to me in my 20s, no longer does so today.Ī different way of reading is to follow an author through, either by reading all the books in their series or choosing a range of books by one author, picking up themes, or following a character arc or even seeing how a writer has developed. A number of the blog posts on the blog feature books I read in my childhood, teens, 20s and 30s. One of the very best things about reading is discovering gems and then re-reading them when the mood strikes.
