4.0 out of 5 stars Ok, 20 April 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Shell Seekers (Audio Cassette)
This book was clearly spoken and worded. I would recommend it to anyone who loves old movies, romances and comedys. Altogether a great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book to re-read for relaxation, 20 Nov 2002
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 22 Oct 2003
By Ms. E. A. Mabbott "mabsy_86" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

This is a really stunning book. Touching and beautiful, the characterisation is good, if somewhat stereotypical in places, the way the story is told is amazing. Read more
