Added above the title are the words, "rediscover the power of family, friends, and love...". Robin Pilcher shares his story with rich descriptions of his beloved Scotland and a warmth and thoughtfulness to each character he introduces into the storyline. The characters come alive to the extent that I wish I could go and spend some time with them. I would especially love to have some girl talk with Liz and Annabelle. For someone that loves golf, they might be thrilled to spend some time with Roberta or Alex. For anyone that has been through the heartache of a broken heart whether through a cheating partner, a separation, divorce, or loss of a loved one in death, this is a story that could suggest stepping away from the close-up view of one’s own heartache perhaps with a small journey or perhaps with empathy as a listener about another’s world. Hopefully those first steps might encourage one’s own heart or inspire one’s own thoughts to consider forgiveness or at the least an understanding be their bridge to the next steps of their life journey where strength, love, courage and the hope of new days and new dreams begin. This book was ok. I liked it because it has elements of [a:Rosamunde Pilcher|20849|Rosamunde Pilcher|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1244293675p2/20849.jpg]'s writing in it. The characters are similar, but the sentences are not as carefully constructed and the descriptions tended to make my mind wander. I liked the story and thought the ending was a good one - not a typical and expected fiction ending. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Ésta es una interesante novela de amor. En ella su autor dibuja con profundo realismo las contradicciones que a veces ensombrecen la vida, sobre todo cuando provienen de nosotros mismos. La trama se desarrolla en la costa este de Escocia. Hasta allí llega Liz Dewhurst con su hijo Alex, a refugiarse en una granja familiar debido a la ruptura en una relación matrimonial que duró dieciocho años. El lugar es maravilloso. La naturaleza proclama allí todo su esplendor. Pero aún así, las dificultades no terminarán para la familia. La enorme instalación no puede mantenerse económicamente. Las deudas aumentan. Un grupo de inversionistas le hace a la propietaria una oferta muy tentadora. Aquí aparece un hombre en la escena y se instala como inquilino de la granja. Liz no podrá resistirse a sus encantos. La hermosa mujer empieza así a reaccionar ante su pasado, reconociendo que aún está a tiempo de rehacer su vida. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

A little confusing in the early chapters as characters are introduced in quick succession, including an unexpected leap to Australia. But the storylines soon weave together in expert fashion.
I found a tad too much description about places, farming methods and golf courses, but it was easy to skim. It's the characters who matter, and they are three-dimensional and sympathetic. All in all, I enjoyed this very much. Re-read after fifteen years, by which time I had entirely forgotten the plot resolutions; when I re-read again just five years afterwards, I had forgotten it again.
Definitely recommended.
