Book Reviews of Coming Home
Book Review: Excellent compelling reading
Summary: 5 Stars
Having seen the TV drama adaptation,I had to read the novel. This proved much better than the TV version as a lot of the story had been missed out. About a young schoolgirl Judith Dunbar, who is from a middle class family in 1930's England. She is left at boarding school whilst her family are in Singapore. The story surrounds her growing up and her friendship with the Carey-Lewis family who live on Nancherrow estate in Cornwall. The story follows her life from school days and through the war years. There is friendship, heartbreak and finally hapiness in this compelling novel. It's so good I read it in 2 days!!!Book Review: Excellent is an understatement!
Summary: 5 Stars
I try to save my 5 stars for truly spectacular books and this is one of them! I received the hardback as a gift a couple of Christmases ago & it seemed such a waste at the time. Rarely do I find a book so compelling that I would want to pay four times the paperback price when, chances are, I won't read it more than once before I pass it off to a friend down the road. This, however, is a book that I will definitely be keeping on my bookshelf! I have always been interested in the 1930s & 40s and this novel gave me a great glimpse at the past. This is by far Rosamunde Pilcher's best novel. I could not put it down!Book Review: Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
I could not put this book down once I started reading it. Sheer enjoyment and makes me want to go out and buy all of Rosmund Pilcher's books.
One thing I enjoyed was the time span of the book that made it much more interesting that one particular period in time. Great writing, great personalities and great ending...Read it and enjoy.
Book Review: Favorite Book Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is one of my all time favorites. It's an amazing story about a girl's coming of age during World War II. The friendships and romances in this book are heartfelt and touching, as is the emotion of a family dealing with the pressures of war. It's Pilcher's best, in my opinion, although The Shell Seekers is a close second.Book Review: Good Story but...
Summary: 3 Stars
I think I would have enjoyed this book more if I hadn't seen the movie first. The movie was quite different from her book. The specific scenes that I was really interested in reading about were not the same , or not there at all. I love the characters in her books! She has a way of making you live thru them.
