In this book, Rosamunde Pilcher immerses her readers in the English countryside in the years leading up to WWII and then throughout the war. It begins with a 14-year-old, Judith Dunham, who is preparing to live at a boarding school while her mother and sister join her father in Singapore where he has received a work assignment. She meets a lifelong friend, Loveday, in boarding school whose wealthy family treats her as a surrogate daughter during holidays. Their extravagant lifestyle far exceeds anything Judith has ever known. This is a very long book with descriptions of England and relationships that are both lovely and haunting. ( ) What a wonderful journey! I so loved all of these characters. A lovely story, very real but still upbeat. I found myself really enjoying the place and the people. Great to see the growth and strength of Judith and the people around her. I was very sorry to have it come to an end. Fabulous narrator. I just wanted it to go on forever! This is the third book by Rosamunde Pilcher that I've read, and I'm a big fan. This story revolves around WWII. It begins with a young English schoolgirl who spent her early users in India, but who is back in England. The story, begins as her mother and sister are about to rejoin her father overseas. I first read this about 20 years ago. The only thing I really remember is the atmosphere and the feeling of coziness the narrative evoked. I don't often re-read books, but I'm glad I picked this one up again. At 40 hours of listening, it was one of the longest books I've listened to. I seldom felt like the story was dragging. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Against the backdrop of an elegant Cornwall mansion before World War II and a vast continent-spanning canvas during the turbulent war years, #1 New York Times bestselling author Rosamunde Pilcher's Coming Home tells of an extraordinary young woman's coming of age, coming to grips with love and sadness, and in every sense of the term, coming home...In 1935, Judith Dunbar is left behind at a British boarding school when her mother and baby sister go off to join her father in Singapore. At Saint Ursula's, her friendship with Loveday Carey-Lewis sweeps her into the privileged, madcap world of the British aristocracy, teaching her about values, friendship, and wealth. But it will be the drama of war, as it wrenches Judith from those she cares about most, that will teach her about courage...and about love. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
