The endearing bestseller from the much-loved Rosamunde Pilcher

When her new friend Loveday Carey-Lewis invites Judith home for the weekend to Nancherrow, the Carey-Lewises' beautiful estate on the Cornish coast, it is love at first sight.

I first read this book when I was 14 and I can't count the number of times I've read it...... I've gone through it over and over again. And as someone really intrested in the second world war it gave me an insight of how traumatic the ordeal was .

My favourite book. I've re-read it so many times and it never fails to delight. I just wish it went on - and on - and on.
