 Brilliant October 22, 2003
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
The book is wonderfully written in nostalgic tones. Pilcher convinces the reader to love every character, including Noel who is infuriating yet endearing. The stories within the story are woven in nicely and the introduction to each character is clever, leaving the reader tantalisingly wanting to know more.
A book to re-read for relaxation November 20, 2002
10 out of 13 found this review helpful
The novel revolves around Penelope, an elderly lady who we first meet returning from hospital. Her family are gradually introduced and woven together cleverly, with subsequent sections of the book told from their perspectives. Each section leads neatly on to the next. There is an unusual climax to the book, which could be shocking and yet is somehow peaceful, and the ending is satisfying, tidying up ends without being long-winded. A book to read again every few years.

 Pleasant holiday read (particularly if you love Cornwall) April 12, 2000

The characters, to a greater or lesser extent, are 'types' familiar from other fiction, but the story sweeps one along. The flashbacks are convincingly done and cleverly maintain the sense of suspense. The frequent references to painting and gardening create a visual background to the action and the use of quotations from Louis Macniece's Autumn Journal gives depth to the romantic side of the story.
