Review: When I started this book, I had no expectations on it. But reading the first 15 pages, I realised that I just couldn't quit reading it. i find in Penelope, Antonia and Danus the figure of eternal love and hapiness. Everyone should read this book!!

Summary: This was one of the most touching books I've ever read.
Review: When my friends Cathy and Teresa suggested this book, I wasn't sure what to think. I'd never read anything by this author before. But I soon found that I couldn't put the book down. The reflection on Penelope's life was beautiful. She was a woman of grace even during the worst times. When she died, I honestly felt that I had lost a good friend. I found the book to be exciting and calming at the same time. Most importantly, it confirms what I've felt all along; age is just a frame of mind.

Summary: The Shell Seekers was an unforgetable experience!
Review: I loved the book and felt that I had come to know and love Penelope Keeling. When I finished it, I was very sad to think we would no longer be together. The author made Penelope seem so real and so beleivable that I actually walked around the house expecting Penelope to come for tea!

Summary: I am overwhelmed by the emotions of this book!
Review: I had, up until now, only read the author's short books. The Shell Seekers has really grabbed me. At first, I had trouble getting started, but once I got into it I could not put it down. I have a tendency, after reading a book that appeals to me as this one did, to walk around for days thinking about the characters. Some are hard to let go of. I really love this story and all the elements of it. It makes me think of my own mother, as well as my two young daughters, in a new light. Thank you, Ms. Pilcher, for this wonderful gift.

Summary: This book kept me turning pages, just could not put it down.
Review: The Shell Seekers was a real page turner for me. I read the whole book in two sittings. Penelope was one of the richest characaters I think I have ever read about. She makes a person want to be her friend. And the love in the book is wonderful but also very sad. A wonderful book the best I have read in a long while

Rating:
Summary: A great escape from every day life
Review: I read Rosamunde Pilcher to escape and every one of her books takes you away. I love her ability to give you all the little details about the settings and people without bogging you down with minutia. A delightful, relaxing read.

Rating:
Summary: Emotionally wrenching if occasionally uneven
Review: The Shell Seekers is one of those impossibly romantic tearjerkers that one can't put down. It's a wonderful read, even though Pilcher has a tendancy to go down unneccessary paths and wander aimlessly. That said, I'll admit I cried hysterically at the end, one of the few books to actually make me sob.
