" I am in the process of moving, and all my stuff is in storage, so I thought I would miss hearing my favorite Rosamunde Pilcher novel this season. But there it was, and I was so very glad to find it. The narrator was different; I am used to Lisa Burgett, and this reader was Jilly Bond. But I still loved it! Thank you for making it available. "

" Winter Solstice is a comfy heartwarming read. I wish I could read it again for the first time. I love Ms. Pilcher's craft. She's like listening to your favorite auntie tell her dear tales. "

" One of my favorite books of all time. I always feel that I am ACTUALLY IN THIS BOOK! I want to be with them as they each experience their days in Scotland. Despite the tragedy that life brings, these characters work through it with each others help, albeit, with some, to me, miraculous events thrown in as well. My third time reading this was as good or better than the first. "

" A good story with interesting characters- it was one I kept wanting to get back to reading. It's the kind of book that I feel involved in as I'm reading as though those characters could walk in my door any moment- or actually more like I could walk in theirs. "

" There's nothing like reading a Rosamunde Pilcher novel once the weather starts to turn cooler. This is my second reading of this book, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time. It's a nice gentle story with characters I'd like to know in real life. I guess the simplicity of it all speaks to me... "

" Rosamunde Pilcher's books are the ultimate literary comfort food. Winter Solstice is wonderful. While not as epic as Coming Home or to the height of The Shell Seekers and September, Winter Solstice is a delight. "

" Good winter/Christmas read, spent most of the snowy day yesterday in front of the fire with it. I like Rosmunde Pilcher's writing. She incorporates a lot of gardening jargon in her writings and basically a clean read, which is hard to find sometimes. "

" I read a bunch of Rosamunde Pilcher novels right after I graduated from college because I needed something light. She has a talent for writing about human emotions and relationships. I don't think I could read any of her books a second time, but they weren't bad the first time around. "

" Each chapter features one of the well-developed characters; often an event is retold from another character's perspective which can become a little tiresome. English setting, family dynamics and a tad predictable but a good read for rainy days!
