When you read a novel 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...Oliver Dobbs was a writer first and a man second. To him other people were tools. Even though he had broken Victoria Bradshaw''s heart once when he arrived on her doorstep with a two-year-old son she found she could not refuse him and the three of them set out for a castle in Scotland. There Victoria meets the new laird and finds her crushed spirit awakening.
