About this ebook
'Rosamunde Pilcher has the unique ability to transfer the reader into her lovely world. So vivid, simply mesmerising!!!!' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
An emotive and timeless collection of short stories by the much-loved Rosamunde Pilcher
Through thick mist and a cold east wind, Lavinia returns to Scotland. Up at the big house Mrs Farquhar is dying. Seeing Lachlan again, Lavinia remembers her childhood holidays there: swimming in the loch, the picnics, bottle-feeding the lambs down at the farm and the evenings when they danced reels. Most of all, she remembers Mrs Farquhar's grandson Rory.
As the old lady lies serene and beautiful in the bed she has slept in since coming home to Lachlan as a bride, Lavinia meets Rory once again.
Flowers in the Rain is one of sixteen stories, each giving another magical glimpse into Rosamunde Pilcher's world.
