Book Reviews of The Shell Seekers
Book Review: Pilcher's Best...
Summary: 5 Stars
In my opinion, this is her best work...weaves a spell..don't want to put it down.Book Review: Such a satisfying book
Summary: 5 Stars
I was so sad when I finished this book, I wanted it to go on and on!!
It's one of those books that leaves you wondering, once you've finished it, how the lives of the characters might have gone on.
The character of Penelope Keeling was brilliant. I could sympathize so much with her and even though two of Penelope's children are buffoons, Ms. Pilcher does such a great job developing them that you might even feel a bit of sympathy for them as well.
I will definitely read this book again. I don't know if the author reads these posts, but if she does - well done!! What a gifted person.
Book Review: The Shell Seekers
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend The Shell Seekers. Told from the viewpoint of a very likable heroine nearing the end of her life and her relationship with friends and children. It is rich in history from WW1 to the present time explaining her choices and decisions. It is a delightful read filled with beautiful memories, laughter and tears. It will most definitely hold your interest.Book Review: The Shell Seekers is fantastic
Summary: 4 Stars
Rosamund Pilcher does a fantastic job of writing in a style that immerses the reader in the very lives of the character she creates. Although the book jumps around into different time periods, it stays true to each character and leaves nothing hanging.
This book was fantastic and ended far too soon.
Book Review: UP THERE WITH MY ALL TIME FAVORITES
Summary: 5 Stars
It is high summer and I have just come away from visiting once again with Penelope Keeling and all the wonderful characters in The Shell Seekers. I read this book about 15 years ago when my kids were small.(I have a recollection of watching them in a wading pool while I cried for Penelope over Richard). I usually try to read one old favorite a summer and this year this was it! I long ago lost the paperback copy I had of this book so this time I read a library copy. This book is such a treasure on so many levels that I am going to order a copy for keeps!
It would be wonderful to read these 24 years later what happened to Nancy,Noel and Monica her children and to Antonia and Danus her "adopted" grandchildren. Much of this novel takes place during the second world war.
I seem to be stuck in the WW II in Britain era in my fiction reading,TV watching and DVD watching. See my recomendations below.
