This book was short but sweet. I enjoyed it, as I do all of Rosamunde Pilcher's books. This one was especially good to read after reading a couple of "heavy" books, as it is light, easy reading.

Rosamunde Pilcher is a wonderful writer! Only reason I'm listing is I need room! I've collected all of her books and am keeping the majority of them as I read them over and over!

"delightful... it exudes comfort as it entrtains," says Publisher's Weekly. While Kirkus Reviews states," Enormous Charm and Warmth!" "A Romanctic tale imbued with comforting lessons on loving, friendship, and family ties, according to Booklist. " Chattannoga News-Free Press says, "Enjoyable & satisfying," while the Tulsa World calls it, "A romance with some mystery and considerable depth to commend it." "[An] agrreable compound of beautiful scenery and warm... loving realtionships" says the Library Journal.

Rosamunde Pilcher is one of the most reliable authors that I read. She always delivers an entertaining story. THE CAROUSEL takes place in Cornwall, a spot that this author writes about with a great deal of enthusiasm and comfort.

Prue Shackleton at the age of twenty-three, is an attractive and responsible young woman. Her mother feels that its time for her to settle down. Prue isn't sure about that even though there is a kind and wholesome Scotsman who is hoping to marry her. In her heart she knows that he's not the man she wants to spend her life with. On the eve of a visit to meet his parents in Scotland, Pure hears that her favorite aunt has just broken her arm and she rushes to Cornwall to help her.

On the train to Cornwall, Prue becomes acquainted with a sad little girl who is going to visit her grandmother. In Cornwall, she also meets Daniel Cassens, a well-known artist who she finds quite attractive. What follows is a story that involves everyone that I've mentioned and it all takes place in beautiful Cornwall.

For complete enjoyment and relaxation all that's needed is a Pilcher book and a cup of Earl Grey. I believe that I've now read all of Pilcher's stories, hopefully she'll write a few more!
