Book Reviews of Coming Home
Book Review: You won't want it to end!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an endearing story which details the life of a fourteen year old girl, Judith Dunbar, growing up in pre WW2 England. When her mother and younger sister, return to her father in Columbo, we are invited into Judith's life, as she makes new friends, finds a new home and finally love. For those of you who love to get to know your characters inside and out, and get lost in the story, this is for you.
If ever a book deserved a sequel it's this one.
Book Review: didn't want it to end
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the first Pilcher book I have read but it certainly won't be the last. The book was long but it never got boring. In fact, I felt like the author left some big gaps in Judith's life, like what happened between her first Easter break with the Carey-Lewis clan and her final year at school? And after Loveday's wedding? I have always been facinated with the WW2 era and I really enjoyed getting this piece of history from the British point of view. There were parts of the book that were a bit predictable, but I think I would have been disappointed if those things hadn't happened. I do wish that the book hadn't ended quite so soon, I would have liked the story of Judith and Jeremy to go a bit further, in fact I wish that Jeremy would have been featured in the entire book a bit more, instead of so much Edward. Actually, the whole Carey-Lewis family got on my nerves after a while, I enjoyed reading about Uncle Bob, Aunt Biddy and Phyllis much more, they were much more real. But this is a book I will definitely read again. I wish there could be a sequel, I would like to know what happened to everyone from 1945-1955.Book Review: memory of a life

Summary: 5 Stars
Oh wow! This is such a delightful book and I just adored every word. Coming Home is the first Pilcher novel I have read and I will be reading lots more! This book tells such a compelling, wonderful story that it is a very quick read. Pilcher's attention to detail allows her readers to really experience the story, not just read it. Take it on your next vacation and dive into Pilcher's tale of a young girl's coming of age in misty Cornwall, England.
