Her captivating bestseller of loss and the healing power of love now re-issued with a stunning new jacket look. Elfrida Phipps loves her new life in the pretty Hampshire village. She has a tiny cottage, her faithful dog Horace and the friendship of the neighbouring Blundells - particularly Oscar - to ensure that her days include companionship as well as independence. But an unforeseen tragedy upsets Elfrida's tranquillity: Oscar's wife and daughter are killed in a terrible car crash and he finds himself homeless when his stepchildren claim their dead mother's inheritance.

Oscar and Elfrida take refuge in a rambling house in Scotland which becomes a magnet for various waifs and strays who converge upon it, including an unhappy teenage girl. It could be a recipe for disaster. But somehow the Christmas season weaves its magical spell and for Elfrida and Oscar, in the evening of their lives, the winter solstice brings love and solace.

Winter Solstice

I love Rosamund Pilcher! I have been rereading September, so probably won't join this read though this is a book I have enjoyed more than once. Great read for this time of year.

I have this and planned to read it soon- but I have SO many Christmas reads right now, I may just start it and finish it in January. My ulterior motive too is to use it on my Motley challenge as a moderator pick in 22.

I am really looking forward to reading this a little closer to Christmas when I have time off. I will listen on audio.

and in addition, I can use it in January as a color choice read :)

Efficient!! LOL

If anyone is interested in the audio, Chirp has it on sale for $3.99.

I just finished the book and can't say I loved it. It's a good Christmas read, though.

I've just started this. Listening to the audiobook. Liking it so far, although I thought Elfrida was more like 82, until she mentions her age is 62!

I listened to it on audio too (years ago: not sure if it's the same narrator you have) and I also liked it, Laurel. It's a good "listen."
