Product Description

From AudioFile

Empty House is Rosamunde Pilcher's romantic tale of Virginia Keile as she tries to put her life back together after the premature death of her young husband. Lynn Redgrave is the perfect choice to vocalize this British romance as her English accent matches the novel's Cornish setting. Her delivery is clear and expressive; her words are well-enunciated and carry the emotions of the story. A.A.B. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.


Ingram

After letting her only true love slip away, enduring a lonely marriage and nearly losing her two children, Virginia returns to the village of her youth to try and recapture the happiness she once knew. Reissue. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0étoiles sur 5 One of the best romances I've ever read!!!, Mars 8 2004
Par L. Hall "kamheskin" (Cortez, CO United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Empty House (Mass Market Paperback)
This was a quick read for me, and the second book I've read by
Rosamunde Pilcher,the other being Shell Seekers. I love her
writing style. She's included the perfect things for me to truly
enjoy a book: kids and animals.

It all starts when Virginia takes a trip with her mother. She meets a man and falls in love. Before anything can become of this, her mother drags her away.

She eventually marries and has two children: Cara and Nicholas.
When her husband dies, she returns to Porthkerris where she'd
met her first love.

The rest is just too delicious, and in my opinion,
Rosamunde Pilcher is one of the best writers, and we're lucky to
have her:)

4.0étoiles sur 5 Cliffs of Cornwall and Wilds of Scotland, Janv. 18 2003
This review is from: Empty House (Mass Market Paperback)
An anachronism in the form of a delightfully romantic fairy tale. From the cliffs of Cornwall to a near castle in Scotland, our not-so-modern-day fairy princess finds herself (at age 27) the widow of Prince Not So Charming. Despite the fact the deceased Prince was unfaithful and domineering and only married the young girl to achieve his inheritance, it is still a little tough feeling sorry for the Poor Little Rich Girl, who has never worked a day in her life (nor will she ever have to). Finally, she is free to be herself and she ships her young children off with Nanny to her mother-in-law in London. She then returns to the Cornwall coast and the memory of a few chance encounters of her 17-year-old self with a local farmer. Rejecting the comfort and pampering of friends, she leases a modest home near Porthkerris, fires the Nanny and reclaims her children. But can she do it? And can the combine man of the cozy hearth really win the heart of the Pampered Princess? This is an early Pilcher, with very idealistic (and out of touch) plotting but the heavenly glimpses of home and heart and her beloved countryside quite save the book.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Yes, but...it's a Pilcher!, Janv. 5 2003
Par "cbedrosian" (Gloucester, MA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Empty House (Mass Market Paperback)
In general, I agree with all of the reviews written here. BUT...I'm simply a huge fan of Rosamunde Pilcher. She writes wonderful, rich, escape-ism novels! They're great for relaxing, taking with you to the tub (w/ candles, bubble bath & a nice glass of something!), and so on.

When I pick up a Pilcher (or a Maeve Binchy) I'm not looking for War & Peace! I'm looking for interesting characters, some of them will be shown in a less-than-flattering light (at least sometimes), which I think is pretty realistic (since we all have our less-than-flattering sides/times!). However, realism isn't the key here. Descriptions of the places, the people, and the events are (I believe) Pilcher's strong suit.

True, this isn't her best work. But, please don't discard her as an author based upon this book! Give her others a chance, and give this one a chance as well. Just lighten up, and enjoy it! Don't dissect it. Allow yourself to escape into it's depths, and don't worry about how many times Virginia has met the love of her life, etc.! Pilcher's books are so much better than romance novels, you don't need to feel the related guilt and embarrassment when reading them! How refreshing...
