Publisher's summary

"It is never too soon to discover Rosamunde Pilcher." (Good Housekeeping)

When you listen to an audiobook by Rosamunde Pilcher you enter a special world where emotions sing from the heart. A world that lovingly captures the ties that bind us to one another - the joys and sorrows, heartbreaks and misunderstandings, and glad, perfect moments when we are in true harmony. A world filled with evocative, engrossing, and above all, enjoyable portraits of people's lives and loves, tenderly laid open for us....

At 27, Virginia Keile had been through the most intense experiences life had to offer - a magical first love ending in heartbreak, a suitable marriage, motherhood, and widowhood. All she wanted now was to take her daughter and son to a seaside cottage in Cornwall and help them recover. But Virginia's true love was there, waiting, hoping, praying that this time she would be strong enough to seize happiness, in The Empty House.

Perfect for a summer afternoon

I loved this book. I lost myself in the lovely descriptions of Cornwall and the characters. The narrator did a great job of putting you right in the story. My only complaint is that it was TOO short. I wanted it to go on for a much longer time.

A Cozy & Heart Warming Listen

I love Rosamunde Pilcher’s stories and this one did not disappoint. The narrator’s voice is very pleasant and the story felt like a warm cup of coffee on a breezy summer day.

Another lovely story by Rosamunde Pilcher

Helen Johns narrates RP’s stories so beautifully. Usually I am bored by descriptions of scenery but RP’s are so vivid and bring you right there into the scene. I get much pleasure from her stories and this is a good one.

Characters

This is the second time I’ve read this and the romance is wonderful. I just want to have a cup of tea in that kitchen.

Another enchanting story from Rosamunde Pilcher

Excellent storytelling, beautiful writing and eloquently narrated. The stories are so engaging and the characters well drawn out that that I’m always left wanting more.

So sweet but too short

Rosamunde P is one of my favorite writers and with Helen narrating it just couldn’t be better! I loved this story! Loved the description and witty phrases. It just ended too soon, 5 hours I think. Makes me wish I lived in one of her books in England on a idyllic cozy little farm with a cook and a beach near by.
