Summary: Each character brings the reader home with him/her.
Review: What a wonderfully satisfying read. This book was impossible to put down. Clearly Ms. Pilcher is the master of character development. The rich descriptiveness of this novel make it a joy to read. Each character brings you home with him/her. I would love to see a sequel

Summary: A hypnotic adventure into the magic of England.
Review: I bought this book during my first journey to Great Britain. I was mesmerized reading Coming Home because I felt like I was being taken home to England. Her choice of words made clear the visions of the countryside in my mind. I went down memory lane reading of the various locations of London. While reading this book on my flight home, I felt as if I would never leave the enchanted land of Rosamunde Pilcher

Summary: This is, in my opinion, Ms. Pilcher's best book yet!
Review: In a world in which we are daily reminded of the greed, impersonality, unkindness and inhumanity of our fellow man, Ms. Pilcher gives us heroes and heroins in whom we can place hope for a better tomorrow. They are people we know, people who live all around us, waiting to be discovered

Summary: a fix for the pilcher-a-holic her best to date
Review: one can only imagine that you are there in the room eaves-dropping and will be detected. Miss Pilcher has a way about her which draws you in and makes you one with her characters. the only dissapointing thing about this book is that once finished there in no new book of here to read

Summary: A Refreshing Read
Review: It isn't often that an author such as Rosamunde Pilcher comes around. She writes in the narrative voice that literally coaxes you to go to the couch and curl up with a pot of tea and her novel. COMING HOME was the first Pilcher book I read and afterward I was captured as one of her biggest fans. Pilcher has a way with each of her books to capture her readers from the first page to the last. In any Pilcher novel the reader finds themselves relating to the main characters by feeling their pain and their happiness.In COMING HOME, this main character is Judith Dunbar who finds herself torn from her family due to World War II. Pilcher takes the reader to Cornwall and a festive amount of characters that Judith begins to know. They are an odd assortment: The best-friend the reader cannot do without, the romantic, the family atmosphere that Judith so craves---- and in end, the excitement involved with simply putting all these characters together in one story. After reading COMING HOME I found myself in love with Judith and her best friend, Loveday Carrie-Lewis. The entire novel was simply enchanting. Readers of Pilcher's are looking for a book written with class, a good narrative voice, and a happy ending. COMING HOME has all elements that a good book has---- well built characters, a big problem, a careful solution, romance, relationships that steadily build, and the change that all main characters' make from the first time you meet them, to the last. COMING HOME is a wonderfully classy read. All readers will find themselves in enthralled with Judith's life and all who are in it. At the end of each Pilcher novel you sigh because it's over, and you're running to get another. All Pilcher-readers find themselves loving her easy going, narrative voice which is completely refreshing. Pilcher takes on a voice in COMING HOME that makes World War II seem more bearable to read about, and all crisis's easier to deal with. If people could live their lives like Pilcher writes a novel, everything would seem just a little bit easier to deal with. After a long day at work or at school, COMING HOME is the perfect book to take a load off and just wrap up in a novel that will entertain the reader until it sadly comes to an end.

Summary: A Refreshing Read
Review: It's pretty difficult to rate any of Pilcher's books above the Shell Seekers. ... and this one does NOT make it.

Summary: Like Coming Home
Review: This is my favorite book ever. By the end of the book, I felt so close to Judith, the main character. Ms. Pilcher does such a beautiful job of following Judith's life, you feel as if you know her. Definitely Rosamunde Pilcher's best.

Summary: The trip home was long but well-described
Review: 728 pages (hardback) of flowery descriptive prose that this aspiring poet loved and hated! I couldn't help thinking "where is that red pen?" to chop about 200 pages of mind-numbing detail from the script.
HOWEVER, Coming Home is a geographic of the heart, not hearth. It challenges definitions of family and class distinctions, and it underscores that home is the place from which we face the world, hopefully surrounded by love, faith and consistent support.
This is a great bedside book and worth the time it takes to read!

Summary: Favorite Book Ever
Review: This book is one of my all time favorites. It's an amazing story about a girl's coming of age during World War II. The friendships and romances in this book are heartfelt and touching, as is the emotion of a family dealing with the pressures of war. It's Pilcher's best, in my opinion, although The Shell Seekers is a close second.

Summary: A book that drew me in.
Review: When I first began to read this novel I thought oh boy this book is so very descriptive I'm never going to get into this, but I pushed on. About half way through I realized had it not been so very descriptive I wouldn't have fell in love with the characters. This was the very first book that I had to set down. It was one particular place in the book that I was so moved I just couldn't read on. Kind of like the place in a movie where you would start crying. Anyway I thought that it was a wonderful book and would recommend.
