Coming Home

Product Information

As for the epistolary part of the novel, most of the letter writing in the novel was quite bad, almost like it was the same person writing all those letters- a waste of paper. I also appreciated the story being told backwards; the horrific event at the start and then backtracking to explain the events leading up to it. Deformed in an accident from farming many years ago, Ford is scared of showing his face, as he continues to work as a farmer.

Cominghome - THE LITERACY SHED Cominghome - THE LITERACY SHED

A week after the night she chases but fails to catch a mysterious trespasser outside her town house, some unknown party texts Tempe four images of a corpse that looks as if it’s been chewed by wild hogs, because it has been. La autora utiliza mucho la descripción y la ambientación es casi perfecta; hay momentos en que casi sientes que estás en el lugar; no obstante, en otras ocasiones, quizá la descripción peca de excesiva. The descriptions of the path leading to the cove and the charm of Nancherrow were still magnets for me. Our story begins in 1935, where we meet our teenage heroine at an important crossroads in her life, and after a tour of the last pre-war years and the difficult time of the war, we arrive at the end of 1945, in a different world. There are some lovely description of nature and I quite enjoyed them but for most part the writing is noting exceptional.It’s a must for not only fans of the Gussman as an author, but of the genre as a whole too, it being an interesting entry into her writing career. After Marion's death, he comes to visit Lou and Amy ("Thicker Than Water") and Amy finds out she is closer to her father than she thinks. It transported me to Cornwall, England, pre- to post- WW11; to people who behave lovingly towards each other always, who are unselfish and strong, and who live in cozy cottages by the sea surrounded by beautiful gardens and who drink masses of strong tea to recover from sleep, or any withering experience, great or small. Heartland, and its alternative therapeutic methods, are described in the series as having been Marion's vision; Amy credits her knowledge of herbal remedies and training techniques to her mother. There is a lot of death in the war period (as it is to be expected) and while sometimes these deaths seemed a bit convenient for an easier development of the plot, the emotion and the heartbreak that a loss entails was well described.

Coming Home by Rosamunde Pilcher | Goodreads

I loved every part of it -- the girl herself, her family and friends, the country house, the romances, the vicarious travel to Ceylon -- and to an era that will never come again. In this case, a gripping narrative that is part multi-generational family saga, part cold case murder mystery.While rescuing an abandoned stallion in a thunderstorm, Amy's mother is killed when a falling tree hits their car, and everything at Heartland--and everything in Amy's life--is thrown into turmoil. I am just getting acquainted with Rosamunde Pilcher's novels, but almost overnight I have become an ardent admirer of her work. Over time she’s subsequently released a score of romance titles similarly themed around the American outdoors, often featuring cowboys.

In 2007, a TV series based on the novels, but set in the Canadian province of Alberta, debuted in Canada on the CBC network. A turfy track led down to the rocks, through the prickly gorse and bracken and clumps of wild primroses.Having finished the novel for the second time, I feel devastated that all the lovely people with whom I've lived for several days are now out of my life.
