Search - The Shell Seekers (Tenth Anniversary Edition)

The Shell Seekers is a warm and satisfying family novel, with rich layers of description and engagingly flawed characters that you will come to care deeply about. This story of this English family begins with 64-year-old Penelope Keeling returning to her country house after an illness, and her three adult children's varying reactions. Each chapter centers on one character in the family's history, with the unifying thread being a beloved oil painting entitled "The Shell Seekers." Rosamund Pilcher's characters are well-drawn, real, and engrossing people. A thoroughly charming book, light fiction that is a satisfying read whether you are relaxing on the beach or curled up in an armchair beside a cheery fire.

One of the best books ever written. After reading this book I actually felt like I have been to Scotland. Pilcher gives such vivid descriptions and tells such beautiful stories. This is one to reread.

One of the handful of books I'd take to a deserted island.

One of my favorite fiction novels. Just a plain good story! Perfect read for when you are on vacation and can let your mind escape. The author does an amazing job of weaving a very touching love story. This story will stay with you a long time and will touch your heart.

this was a very good book will be reading more by this author.

I usually never re-read a book, but this one I have read many times, in fact my copy is falling apart.
