'As with every Rosamunde Pilcher story - long or short - I began to read and couldn't stop' Lucinda Riley A spellbinding collection of fifteen stories from multi-million copy, internationally bestselling modern classic author Rosamunde Pilcher, with an introduction by Sunday Times bestselling author Lucinda Riley. In The Holiday, a wife surprises her husband of twenty-five years with a trip full of Mediterranean sunshine, red rocks and blue seas in an effort to rekindle the romance they had before becoming parents. Skelmerton takes the reader to the bright spring sunshine and sparkling waves of a Northumbrian village where old flames are reunited. In A Place Like Home, a lonely young woman goes to recuperate in the Scottish countryside after a brief illness. The fruit orchards and fresh sea air offer much needed respite - but not as much as the handsome, mysterious farmer . . . Each of the fifteen stories is a perfect slice of romance written with warmth and passion, featuring some wonderfully memorable, smart and feisty female characters that will transport the reader to another time and place. PRAISE FOR A PLACE LIKE HOME: 'A wonderful treat. Each story resonates with the echoes of a voice that is at once familiar and beloved. Reading this collection of love stories does indeed feel just like returning to a place like home' Fiona Valpy, bestselling author of The Dressmaker's Gift 'This set of stories has a comforting, nostalgic feel with Rosamunde Pilcher's signature insight into domestic hopes and yearnings' Sarah Maine, bestselling author of Beyond the Wild River 'Highly recommended reading that will lift you' Angela Petch, bestselling author of The Tuscan Secret PRAISE FOR ROSAMUNDE PILCHER: 'Her genius is to create characters you really care about' Daily Express 'Rosamunde Pilcher's warm spell is charming and utterly convincing' Daily Mail 'Pilcher's storytelling skills are serene and beguiling' The Times 'Britain's most under-rated novelist' Sunday Times
