read and couldn't stop' - Lucinda Riley A spellbinding collection
of fifteen stories from multi-million copy, internationally
bestselling modern classic author Rosamunde Pilcher, with an
introduction by Sunday Times bestselling author Lucinda Riley. In

a trip full of Mediterranean sunshine, red rocks and blue seas in

sparkling waves of a Northumbrian village where old flames meet
again. In A Place Like Home, a lonely young woman goes to
recuperate in the Scottish countryside after a brief illness. The

resonates with the echoes of a voice that is at once familiar and
beloved. Reading this collection of love stories does indeed feel
just like returning to a place like home.' - Fiona Valpy,

challenging times, this set of stories from a much-loved author has
a comforting, nostalgic feel - cosy and reassuring - with Rosamunde
Pilcher's signature insight into domestic hopes and yearnings,
taking us into a gentler world.' - Sarah Maine, bestselling author
of Beyond the Wild River 'Reading this anthology of short stories
was like being wrapped in a cashmere shawl and travelling back to
the recent past where people drank sherry before dinner and seemed
to have more time. Highly recommended reading that will lift you
during this difficult period we are experiencing. Find a saggy,
chintz armchair, a log fire and a glass of sherry and indulge . .

spell is charming and utterly convincing' Daily Mail 'Pilcher's
storytelling skills are serene and beguiling' The Times 'Pilcher's
strength is knowing what she can do well and writing about what she
knows. She has a way of tapping into the emotional life of her
readers and making them care about characters not unlike
themselves' Daily Telegraph 'Britain's most under-rated novelist'
Sunday Times 'This warm-hearted family saga, beautifully written
and expertly paced, is just as satisfying now as when it was first
published more than 30 years ago.' Daily Mail
