" I have a soft spot for these and I enjoyed it. They aren't nearly as good as his mother's books but still nice. "

" I thoroughly enjoyed this book, a tale of lives linked through the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It was a light story, but it engaged my emotions and interest. You could tell it was written by someone who had an intimate knowledge of this Scottish town and institution. :) "

" What a wonderfully woven story about Edinburgh. Having just traveled to Scotland and walked the streets in Edinburgh, I could really see what the author was describing. "

" Fun and likeable characters who converge on a festival by error and accident and providence. In the style of Maeve Binchey. Like his Mom, you feel good after you read it. "

" Set around the time of the Edinburgh Festival, this novel follows several characters whose lives intercept and overlap. It was a decent enough read, not my usual, but I don't think I'll be rushing out to buy more work by this author. "

" A story set in Edinburg, a favorite city of mine. I was hoping to read more about this enchanting place, but the story lacked any intimacy. There seemed to be too many characters and not enough development to keep interested in many of them. Just an ok read. "

" A nice British novel. It was a bit hard to get into as there were so many characters to develop that I had forgotten what was going on with the first by the time their story came back around. "

" I loved this book! A great story and I highly recommend the audio version. John Lee is a fabulous reader. I was amazed at how well he switched between all the characters and their respective accents. Just awesome. I will listen to this book again! "

" I really enjoyed this book right up until the poor excuse of an ending. Totally uninspired way to wrap up a good book. "

" I was confused at first how all the characters fit together, but the author combined them beautifully! "

" I love Rosamunde Pilcher's books, but her son's writing does nothing for me. I never finished the book. "

" As a fan of his mother's books, I was eager to read this. I really enjoyed it, especially his great character descriptions. "

" Wasn't a book I would have chosen, but was given to me. I ended up enjoying it very much and am now craving a trip to Scotland for the festival! "

" Pretty good, nothing spectacular, but some of the characters were engaging and you do find yourself wanting to know how everything comes out. "

" It takes place in Edinburgh, one of my favorite cities, so that made it worthwhile. "

" I had no expectations about this book and it really surprised. loved the connection of the different characters. "

" The story of several people who's lives are brought together through a festival in Scotland. I liked the story well enough but their were so many characters that it was hard to keep track of them all at times. To make matters worse, a few of them had the same initials!! "

" Set in Edinburgh during the annual Festival, this book introduces the reader to many characters, who will eventually meet and interact. This was a very good read, funny in places and sad in others. I recommend it highly. "

" I like the way Pilcher weaves disparate lives into a story and shows the serendipity of fate and circumstances. I only wish the fates were kinder in reality. "

" Not bad, although i've enjoyed Robin Pilcher's other books a bit more. This one dragged a bit for me, although not enough to put it down. "

" I listened to this on audiobook so I don't know if it counts, but it was definitely one of my favorite books on tape, probably because of all the English and Scottish accents! "

" This was my first exposure to a Robin Pilcher novel. The son of Rosamunde Pilcher, he writes in a style similar to hers. The story is set in Edinburgh and involves a confluence in interesting but disparate characters. I'm looking forward to other Robin Pilcher books. "

" Great book. I'm ready to visit Scotland now. "
