Book Reviews of Coming Home
Book Review: Like a warm blanket!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have never been disappointed in a Pilcher book and this is no exception. Reading her books is like curling up in front of a fire on a cold day with a cup of cocoa and warm chocolate chip cookies. You will love this book and wish it would never end.Book Review: Long, warm, soap opera
Summary: 3 Stars
My rating may be deceptive as I would not have finished all 728 pages of this book if I had not enjoyed it. I was in the mood for a good WW II novel, but this is really a soap opera with a World War II backdrop. Coming Home is too long by half, filled with endless descriptions of everything: clothes, scenery, people, probably pillowcases and cooking pots. At scene painting, Pilcher is outstanding. She made me want to visit Cornwall. The scenes of English country life in the 1930s were idyllic -- too idyllic -- and the heroine is too goody-goody to be believed, but the scenes of loss and longing in wartime were effective. Pilcher is good at tugging on the heartstrings and she knows how to tell a story.Book Review: Lovely book
Summary: 5 Stars
When you start reading this book, you want to please - - be that person,
BE there, be in that house, with that family, know the Carey-Lewis family.
So descriptive, very addicting, love the story.
Thank you Rosamunde Pilcher !
Book Review: Modern literature at its best.
Summary: 5 Stars
Brilliantly written. I'm not a fiction reader and don't like romance novels. However, I'm totally hooked on Rosamunde Pilcher now and have read three of her masterful books within the past two weeks. Coming Home is my favorite because of its epic nature and historical background. I didn't want the captivating story to end, despite sadness felt about the demise of a gentler, more civilized era.Book Review: My Favorite Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is my favorite book. I read my mom's old copy last summer and just HAD to purchase a copy to keep for myself at college. Readers can live the story themselves through the main characters. An interesting description of World War Two through the eyes of a young British girl, becoming a woman. Very touching and very seemingly realistic.
