What do You think about Voices In Summer (1992)?
Laura Haverstock needs to have an operation and must bow out of trip her husband Alec has been planning for them to go to Scotland on his annual fishing trip with his long time friends. He makes arrangements for Laura to stay with his Uncle Gerald and Gerald's wife Eve in Cornwall at a home called Tremenheere. The adventure begins. I had read this one a few years back but could not remember what it was all about. I found that I actually appreciated the novel just as much the second time as the first. I would highly recommend.

I admit that I read this book in less than 24 hours. I love Rosamunde Pilcher books! She is such a romantic!! There was a bit of letter writing with oddly matching letters accusing different people of being with other partners in this novel that brought to mind another of her books that I read some time ago. For a minute I even thought I was rereading the same book. That book was about a bereft, special woman. This was reminiscent of that story. This letter writer was someone not as easily suspect. Laura, Gabriel, Eve, the Admiral, Mae....many more cast members all on a lovely sprawling picturesque home with a winding oak staircase in front of a large window, with large bedrooms with large bathrooms remodeled from adjacent bedrooms, chintz curtains, scrubbed kitchen tables, flowering gardens (no orange, yellow, or red), roaring fires, the craggy shores, pink flowered rugs, wisteria, antique stores, Dresden, tea, brandy..... I could sink into her books.

This book is about Laura and Alec, a married couple very different in backgrounds. Laura has some health problems and cannot go on an already planned trip with her husband. So her husband takes the trip and takes Laura to his brothers home in Tremeheree. Here Laura learns a great deal about herself and has the time of her life. She learns she is stronger than she ever thought and how very much family and friends mean to one another.Noteworthy moments and quotes from the book:"The difficult we can do at once, the impossible may take a little longer."
