Read full description of the books:

I really love Rosamunde Pilcher books. I hate how they look like sappy romance novels because somebody put dorky flowers and curlicues all over the cover, but rest assured, they're far from that genre. This is one of my particular favorites. It follows a girl (left in boarding school in England while her family goes to Singapore) before, during, and after WWII and goes back and forth between Cornwall, London, and various South Pacific locations. It's fairly epic in length--I think it clocks in around 1,000 pages, but it's totally fascinating. It's certainly not a candy-coated perception of war, and there's a fair amount of heartbreak and devastation throughout the course of the novel, but it is certainly a depiction of the triumph of the human spirit. Whatever that means.

In essence, this is a book I love to read (and re-read and re-read and then read again some more) when I'm wishing I lived in Cornwall on a big rocky beach swathed with light and color and sound. Oh, and I have a big house with bowls of flowers everywhere and I cook exciting things and my furniture is covered in faded chintz and I have lovely hunting dogs that like to be taken on walks over aforesaid beach, even though in real life I think dogs smell and slobber too much. Um...I'll stop now, but I really like the evocative writing in this book, at which Pilcher certainly excels. Just go read it already.
