Rosamunde Pilcher Book order

An absorbing new collection of stories from multi-million copy, international bestselling author Rosamunde Pilcher

Two of Rosamunde Pilcher’s most heartfelt novels reveal the sanctity of second chances and the irresistible pull of the past. The Empty House At twenty-seven, Virginia has been through more than most people experience in a lifetime. When she and her two children travel to a seaside cottage for a much-needed break, she never expects to rediscover a true love from her past. Is this the second chance Virginia needs to finally find happiness? The Day of the Storm When Rebecca learns she has relatives she never knew existed, her first reaction is shock. But as she sets out to meet her new grandfather and cousin, Rebecca is even less prepared for the enigmatic Joss Gardner, the outsider who seems to be the apple of her grandfather’s eye. Soon, Rebecca begins to uncover the dark currents that belie her family’s loving reception, and it’s only with Joss’s help that she can truly understand them.

Do you believe in second chances? Virginia does. That’s why she takes her two children back to Cornwall and rents a house near the man she loved when she was seventeen. And this time, she’s determined to make the right decision.

A successful London playwright returns to the woman he loved and left, and whisks her away on a trip to Scotland that becomes a journey of emotional discovery, forgiveness and the rebirth of love.

Voices in Summer Laura, newly married and ever conscious of the shadow of her husband Alec's first wife, takes a holiday with his family in Cornwall. Through the long, hot summer days she is charmed by the beautiful old house and the people she learns to know and love. The sight of the sparkling, brilliant sea quiets for a while her uneasy spirit.
