"Celebrate life's journeys with the beloved author whose stories of life and love touched the world. Together for the first time in one collection, 15 short stories by bestselling author Rosamunde Pilcher. A Place Like Home is a collection of Rosamunde Pilcher's most enduring short stories, never before published in book form. The collection contains fifteen stories, which range from The Holiday, in which a wife surprises her husband of twenty-five years with a holiday full of Mediterranean sunshine, red rocks and blue seas in an effort to rekindle the romance they had before children; The Eye of Love which takes the reader to a village by the sea where old flames meet again; and A Place Like Home, where a lonely young woman goes to recuperate in a Scottish countryside after a brief illness.

I was delighted to discover a new collection of previously unpublished stories by the late Rosamunde Pilcher, one of my favourite writers.

Fifteen short stories, typical women's magazine style, featuring likeable women, intelligent heroes, and some beautifully written descriptions that are part of gentle, hopeful plots. Some predictability, of course, and a few very unlikely coincidences - but it really doesn't matter.

I didn't find the stories as moving, or (in some cases) as complete as those in the two short story collections published in Pilcher's lifetime, but they still made very good reading. Definitely recommended if you like the author's style, or if you are a fan of women's magazine stories.

If you are a fan of Rosamund's Pilcher's previous novels and short stories you will love this collection. She is a breath of fresh air with the timeless stories and the lovely settings in Scotland, Northumberland and Cornwall.

Fifteen stories with a bit of romance, some with personal relationship conundrums and interspection. My favorite books remain The Shell Seekers and Coming Home, I highly recommend those large books.

Each short story is preceded by a sketch along with the title. The romance story lines are not long and complicated, rather the attractions and commitments happen quite quickly. There are stories of loneliness as well and Pilcher brings the emotions to life on the page.
I recommend this book for a quick read and one that will take you armchair traveling to a different time period. A gentler kinder depiction of a lifestyle in the British Isles long before a pandemic.

Publication date is July 27, 2021 by St. Martin's Press. Genre general fiction; romance; women's fiction
Much thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy of this book. I was not compensated for the review and all opinions expressed here are mine. ( )
