'This book is the literary equivalent of a warm, soft blanket, a log fire and a cup of strong, sweet tea on a snowy winter night. With the Scotland setting, it is utterly irresistible' Reader review An endearing and poignant novel about loss and the healing power of love by the beloved Rosamunde Pilcher Elfrida Phipps loves her new life in her pretty Hampshire village. She has a tiny cottage, her faithful dog Horace and the friendship of the neighbouring Blundells - particularly Oscar - to ensure that her days are filled with companionship as well as independence. But an unforeseen tragedy upsets Elfrida's tranquillity: Oscar's wife and daughter are killed in a terrible car crash, and he finds himself homeless when his stepchildren claim their dead mother's inheritance. Oscar and Elfrida take refuge in a rambling house in Scotland, which becomes a magnet for various waifs and strays who converge upon it, including an unhappy teenage girl. It could be a recipe for disaster. But somehow the Christmas season weaves its magic and the winter solstice brings love and solace.

Seller's Description:
Dispatched, from the UK, within 48 hours of ordering. Though second-hand, the book is still in very good shape. Minimal signs of usage may include very minor creasing on the cover or on the spine. Aged book. Tanned pages and age spots, however, this will not interfere with reading.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story and have read the book several times. It covers all ages of characters who have had to overcome various difficult situations with the help of their friends, family, and even strangers. I highly recommend it to anyone.

Winter Solstice
Having read everything Rosamund Pilcher wrote, and then her son, Robin's, books, I eagerly looked forward to hearing an audio book of "Winter Solstice". It is my favorite of her books, and have read and re-read it many times over the years. Lynn Redgrave gave the characters the perfect voices, I could hear Elfrida Phipps, Oscar Blundell, and everyone else, and see them in my mind. Excellent! Of course, I would have enjoyed an unabridged version, but the abridged audio satisfied my longing to bring those characters to life! Wonderful job, Lynn Redgrave! Thanks much to Alibris for your help.
