![]() There’s Elfrieda Phipps, a retired actress, and Oscar Blundell, a man who recently lost his family in a car crash (or smash, as they say over there). Winter Solstice mostly takes place over a few weeks around Christmastime, as an unlikely group of people find themselves sharing a home in Scotland. Winter Solstice is much anticipated, but unfortunately it is somewhat disappointing. Since Pilcher is not a particularly fast writer, fans must wait years between books. A beautiful place, where everyone’s house has a charming name and people always have delightful conversations over tea. Sinead O’Connor may tell us that “England’s not the mythical land of Madame George and roses,” but when you read Pilcher’s books, you can’t help thinking that England is something of a mythical land after all. ![]() ![]() I’m not usually a big fan of women’s fiction, but I always read Rosamunde Pilcher. ![]()
