Coming Home de Rosamunde Pilcher

Coming Home

Autor Rosamunde Pilcher
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 2017
Teeming with marvelous, memorable characters in a novel that is a true masterpiece, Rosamunde Pilcher's Coming Home-the basis for the TV miniseries of the same name-is a book to be savored, reread, and cherished forever.

Against the backdrop of an elegant Cornwall mansion before World War II and a vast continent-spanning canvas during the turbulent war years, this involving story tells of an extraordinary young woman's coming of age, coming to grips with love and sadness, and in every sense of the term, coming home...

In 1935, Judith Dunbar is left behind at a British boarding school when her mother and baby sister go off to join her father in Singapore. At Saint Ursula's, her friendship with Loveday Carey-Lewis sweeps her into the privileged, madcap world of the British aristocracy, teaching her about values, friendship, and wealth. But it will be the drama of war, as it wrenches Judith from those she cares about most, that will teach her about courage...and about love.

Recenzii

The novel has a gently sweet flavour, it continues to beguile because of Pilcher's warmth, sincerity and easy, undemanding prose -- Sunday Times Compelling pages packed with convincing characters, vivid settings and weepy bits -- Daily Mail A great featherbed of a novel, all the right ingredients -- Woman & Home Especially good on atmosphere and a lonely teenager's bewilderment, Pilcher's storytelling skills are serene and beguiling -- The Times Much-needed balm to soothe the troubled mind -- Sunday Express A well-upholstered good read -- Daily Mail Classy, lavish entertainment ... literate pleasure -- Publishers Weekly Captivating ... The best sort of book to come home to ... Readers will undoubtedly hope Pilcher comes home to the typewriter again soon. -- New York Daily News

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Born in Colombo, Judith Dunbar spends her teenage years at boarding school, while her beloved mother and younger sister live abroad with her father.

When her new friend Loveday Carey-Lewis invites Judith home for the weekend to Nancherrow, the Carey-Lewises' beautiful estate on the Cornish coast, it is love at first sight.

She falls in love too with the generous Carey-Lewises themselves. With their generosity and kindness, Judith grows from naive girl to confident young woman, basking in the warm affection of a surrogate family whose flame burns brightly. But it is a flame soon to be extinguished in the gathering storm of war. And Judith herself has far to travel before at last . . . coming home.
