Format:Paperback
This was my first Rosamunde Pilcher and certainly won't be the last! September is essentially the story of two families from rural Scotland and their acquaintances, and is told over 5 months, building to the climax you know is coming right from the outset. Each person brought into the storyline is incredibly well-crafted, as is the book as a whole. There is great attention to detail both in the Scottish scenery which is the backdrop to the drama unfolding, and in the lives of the characters. The characters themselves are instantly memorable, yet human, and make it hard to put this book down. I will be recommending it to anyone looking for a good read, and look forward to working my way through the rest of her books!

Format:Paperback
September is the story of a two interconnected families based in the same highland village with various members living elsewhere. The saga starts at the beginning of the year and continues month by month until the climax, a 21st birthday party, is reached in September. A number of different characters are described in very realistic settings in beautiful detail. The book is a very gentle read and ideal to take away on holiday, but beware, once picked up, it is difficult to put down. Heartily recommended.

Beautiful
The words just roll off the pages, such a pleasure to read. So detailed it's difficult to put this book down. Highly recommended.

One of the best
I am very familiar with this book and the DVD but love to listen to the audio books over and over again. I have the old tapes but prefer CDs now of course. Read more

Life in the Highlands
A well written story. Ms Pilcher obviously knows her "Highlands".

Brilliant book
Excellent book, struggled to put it down. Lots of dramatic tension. Only thing is, wish I hadn't read the blurb as it sort of spoiled some of the story for me, but otherwise... Read more

Poorly adapted and removes much of the book's charm
Lynn Redgrave is definitely not at her best in this reading of Rosamunde Pilcher's fabulous book. She somehow fails to capture the spirit of the characters, giving them a... Read more
