I would 100% recommend this book to both my family and friends. I also didn’t have to read them in order if I didn’t want to. They also all left me feeling happy and relaxed.Ī Place Like Home was a definite page-turner and I loved that I could sit and read a complete story in just one sitting. I have been trying to work out which story is my favourite and I have come to realise that I can’t choose one story over another as they all were perfect, enthralling, and engaging.

They all came across as real and believable making for an enjoyable read.

I also adored all the main female characters in each of the stories. I love the author’s use of descriptive language, the scenery, and the settings which all came alive in my mind. I have been a huge fan of Rosamunde Pilcher’s novels for many years and this book felt like it was the perfect read for me.
