Product Details


Product Description

Product Description

In the tradition of Rosamunde Pilcher's major bestseller The Shell Seekers comes a rich, satisfying listening experience that will transport you into the aristocratic world of two Scottish families.

Lynn Redgrave, whose superb dramatic reading of The Shell Seekers was widely acclaimed, returns in a breathtaking three-hour abridgement of September- a sweeping story of the private relationship between husbands and wives, children and parents, with an authenticity and understanding that speak directly to the heart. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Ingram

The author of The Shell Seekers brings characters from all over the world to the little town of Strathcroy, Scotland, for an extraordinary birthday party. A heartwarming story of family joys and sorrows. Six months on the New York Times bestseller list. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than The Shell Seekers, Mar 28 2007
Ce commentaire est de: September (Hardcover)
I'm probably the only reader in the world who likes 'September' better than 'The Shell Seekers', and I want to give my reasons.

Violet is much more likable than Penelope - fortunately, she has got only one child (son Edmund) so that she can't have a favourite child. Unlike Penelope, Violet loves her two grandchildren although they are not perfect.

In 'September' Pilcher is much more generous - like Nancy in 'The Shell Seekers', Violet, Alexa and Edie are fat, but unlike Nancy, they are NOT ugly, for there is something between 'beautiful' and 'ugly' and it is admitted that even plump women may be pretty, lovable and charming!

Yes, I like Violet - she is even a nice mother-in-law!

I was confused to see Archie and Isobel in almost exactly the same situation as George and Nancy - they have got financial problems, but live far beyond their means, keep a giant house and send their to boarding-school. Unlike George and Nancy who are portrayed as greedy and stupid, Archie and Isobel are nice people.

I think it was not logical that Pandora writes a letter in which she tells Archie about her suicidal tendencies without giving her reasons - after all, she has got a very plausible reason (terminal cancer), and it is a relief to her family when they get to know it - Pandora's physician tells them.

Noel who already appears in 'The Shell Seekers' seems to have improved...

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Sequel, Jun 16 2004

Ce commentaire est de: September (Paperback)
This is a good sequel to The Shell Seekers, however... while it is better than R Pilcher's other novels, it still does not hold a candle to The Shell Seekers. It is nice to see what happens to at least one of The Shell Seeks characters afterwards, and Pandora and her family are very compelling.
