Winter Solstice
Description
In Winter Solstice Rosamunde Pilcher brings her readers into the lives of five
very different people…. Elfrida Phipps, once of London’s stage, moved to the
English village of Dibton in hopes of making a new life for herself. Gradually
she settled into the comfortable familiarity of village life — shopkeepers
knowing her tastes, neighbors calling her by name — still she finds herself
lonely. Oscar Blundell gave up his life as a musician in order to marry
Gloria. They have a beautiful daughter, Francesca, and it is only because of
their little girl that Oscar views his sacrificed career as worthwhile. Carrie
returns from Australia at the end of an ill-fated affair with a married man to
find her mother and aunt sharing a home and squabbling endlessly. With
Christmas approaching, Carrie agrees to look after her aunt’s awkward and
quiet teenage daughter, Lucy, so that her mother might enjoy a romantic fling
in America. Sam Howard is trying to pull his life back together after his wife
has left him for another. He is without home and without roots, all he has is
his job. Business takes him to northern Scotland, where he falls in love with
the lush, craggy landscape and set his sights on a house. It is the strange
rippling effects of a tragedy that will bring these five characters together
in a large, neglected estate house near the Scottish fishing town of Creagan.
It is in this house, on the shortest day of the year, that the lives of five
people will come together and be forever changed. Rosamunde Pilcher’s long-
awaited return to the page will warm the hearts of readers both old and new.
Winter Solstice is a novel of love, loyalty and rebirth. Read more
