This was my third or fourth reading of this title and I enjoy it every time. Mr. Pilcher is definitely his mother's son when it comes to creating believeable characters about whom you learn to care.

If you like books by Rosamunde Pilcher, you will like her son's novels as they are written in the same style with great characters. This one is about a Londoner, married, with three children, who loses his highpaying city financial job. On a whim, he travels to Scotland to look at a company for sale and ends up reevaluating his life.

A story about life in the new millinium and one mans pursuit of happiness.

Engaging character of a person who was once riding the crest, but has since lost his self esteem...

Dan Porter has a big house in London, wife and 3 children, and a high-paying job. But then, it all collapsed. He's home while his wife pursues a career and his marriage goes sour. Dan hears about a company for sale in Scotland. He takes his son Josh and two dogs and moves. He discovers a community that needs his help, a new chance for the future, a risk that requires faith, and love.

Robin almost fits his mother's (Rosamunde Pilcher) shoes - his characters are warm and likeable and the story heart-warming.

I love his mother's book and this one was pretty good, too.

A cozy and thoughtful story about starting over written by Rosamunde Pilcher's son. As satisfying and enjoyable as her books were.

A charming story about life in the new millennium and one man's pursuit of happiness, a tale that will appeal to both men and women.

Dan Porter had it all: a big house in suburban London, a beautiful wife, three children in private school, and a high paying job. But then, it all collapsed like a house of cards. Now Dan stays home while his angry wife pursues a career and his marriage falters. Returning to his old profession could mend the rift, but Dan needs to do something else, something more...
Then, Dan hears about a company for sale in northern Scotland, and the temptation is too great to resist. With his son Josh and two dogs in tow, he lands in a primitive cottage above a frigid loch. As he takes stock of his past, he discovers a community who desperately needs his help, a new chance for the future, a risk that requires a leap of faith...and an astonishing love.

Robin or Rosamunde Pilcher...It doesn't matter to me. I love their books and this one didn't disappoint.
