I have loved all of his mother's books and did not think he could write as well. I was wrong. I have now read 3 of his novels and they are really insightful, the characters are well drawn, and the plots totally believable. The time I took with the book WAS a risk worth taking.

Robin Pilcher is the son of Rosamunde Pilcher, who was one of my favorite authors. Rosamunde Pilcher died and his son has taken over where she left off. I love his style of writing and his characters. They are very real people in this novel. I have read all of Robin's books. Great read!!!
