Product Details

Product Description

From AudioFile

Rosamunde Pilcher's writing always feels like a soft chair after a hard day. Her plots and characters offer insights into the human condition with grace and tenderness. In The Day of the Storm Pilcher revisits the lives of some of her earlier characters, artist Grenville Bayliss and his family, this time from the point of view of the artist's granddaughter. As in any good mystery/romance, she survives dastardly deeds and manipulations to find true love in the arms of the man she hated on sight in chapter one. Predictable plot aside, the book is fine entertainment, thanks to Hunter's competent narration. She resists the temptation to over-vocalize, allowing her crisp diction and Pilcher's clean writing to shine. R.P.L. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.


Ingram

When Rebecca Bayliss' dying mother reveals to her the existence of a family Rebecca knew nothing about, she is determined to find them--and is soon deeply enmeshed in relationships torn by passion, greed and an old family mystery.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lavishly Painted Setting, Jan 18 2003
This review is from: The Day Of The Storm (Mass Market Paperback)
After a very unconventional upbringing, Rebecca Bayliss has found bliss in her dull life working in a London book shop and living in a solitary flat she is slowly furnishing. For once she is in control of her life, and quite content. But her mother's latest lover writes that her mother is dying, and Rebecca must hurry to Ibiza. There Rebecca finally learns of her family in Cornwall and the famous artist grandfather she's never known but whom she feels compelled to inform of his daughter's death. The story is full of unusual coincidences (sometimes called fate?) and makes several abrupt turns before reaching a surprise of an ending. While Pilcher lavishly paints the background of her books, a map would have really been lovely in this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Call me crazy but I read this book twice within six months!, May 6 2002
By Lynne P. Caldwell (Dadeville, AL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Day Of The Storm (Mass Market Paperback)
First of all, I love Rosemund Pilcher. The main characters in her stories are all so good and sweet (I know, this one did have a villain) AND her books always have happy endings. Sometimes, when I want to escape into a good book, I want a fairy tale and DAY OF THE STORM is definitely a fairy tale. This book is such easy reading--I read it on the airplane--very easy to get into. Pilcher is the best when it comes to character development and while reading this story, you will come to love Grenville, Joss, and especially Rebecca.

2.0 out of 5 stars The day Of tThe Storm, May 6 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Day Of The Storm (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the third R. Pilcher book I have read. I so enjoyed the Shell Seekers and Winter Soltice . I am afraid this book was a let down for me. It has beautiful descriptions of the countryside , which I love. But the book did not pull me into the lives of her characters as the other two books did. I will now try September and hope to have another good read !

2.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing
After reading September and Coming Home, this was a real letdown. The characters were not well enough defined to show the motivation for their behavior. Read more
