Book Reviews of Voices In Summer

Book Review: --Lovely vacation read--
Summary: 4 Stars

VOICES IN SUMMER begins in a suburb of London with Laura Haverstock, a thirty something woman who has just learned that she must have surgery immediately. Laura, married only for six months to Alec, had been in the midst of planning their fishing vacation to Scotland with a group of her husband's oldest friends. She insists that Alec go on his annual fishing trip without her which he reluctantly consents to do; however, he will not leave until after her surgery and then only if she will agree to recuperate at the home of his Uncle Gerald on the coast of Cornwall.

Laura is about fifteen years younger than her new husband and is filled with worries about his earlier marriage and the friends that knew his first wife. She's also concerned about his teenage daughter who she's not yet met. She's very insecure with her new life! Laura and her little dog, Lucy are made very welcome by Gerald and his wife, Eve. Days are spent relaxing on the patio and swimming at the beach. Eve's son, Ivan is also kind to Laura and takes her on several jaunts around the area. Cornwall is beautiful and Laura finds herself comfortable and basking in the life of a loving family and their social world.

As she heals, Laura begins working out her life and how she'll handle all of the situations that have been bothering her. The dreamy vacation starts to change when poison pen letters show up. The writer of the letters makes nasty accusations about Laura and Ivan. In the midst of it all, Laura is also surprised by a visit from her new stepdaughter.

Rosamunde Pilcher has a wonderful way of writing interesting stories about families and all of the complex relationships that are involved. She also makes me want to visit Cornwall where many of her books take place.
