A beautiful novel by the much-loved Rosamunde Pilcher. Elfrida
Phipps loves her new life in her pretty Hampshire village. She has
a tiny cottage, her faithful dog Horace and the friendship of the
neighbouring Blundells - particularly Oscar - to ensure that her
days include companionship as well as independence. But an
unforeseen tragedy upsets Elfrida's tranquillity: Oscar's wife and
daughter are killed in a terrible car crash and he finds himself
homeless when his stepchildren claim their dead mother's
inheritance. Oscar and Elfrida take refuge in a rambling house in
Scotland which becomes a magnet for various waifs and strays who
converge upon it, including an unhappy teenage girl. It could be a
recipe for disaster. But somehow the Christmas season weaves its
magical spell and for Elfrida and Oscar, in the evening of their
lives, the winter solstice brings love and solace.
