Review: I really like Pilcher but this book is... bad, there's no other word. The characters simply don't stand up. We begin with interaction between Selina and her fiancé and right away, we wonder why on earth he should be his fiancé and never get a valid answer.
Selina gets on my nerves with her lack of character, her stubbornness, helplesness and lack of personality. George Dyer acts like a jerk. We never get to understand how they can ever become attracted to each other when they're presented to us as both so annoying. Maybe that's the key: they'll make a perfectly annoying pair.
An ordinary, clumsily written book that doesn't do any justice to the author of The shell seekers.

Summary: Funny and touching
Review: This was actually one of my favorite Rosamunde Pilcher books. I certainly agree that it's not quite on a par with The Shell Seekers, which is one of my favorite novels of all time. This novel does lack some flow, but has some great, funny scenes. My favorite is the one when George walks in and finds Selina in his house and the conversation that ensues before she tells him she thinks he may be her father. If you're a Rosamunde Pilcher fan, (and even if you haven't "met" her yet) this is worth reading.
