In Voices in Summer, #1 New York Times bestselling author Rosamunde Pilcher invites readers into long summer days on the coast of Cornwall—and into the stormy heart of a newlywed.

Critic reviews

“Pilcher displays a perfect touch!” —Booklist

“I don't know where Rosamunde Pilcher has been all my life-but now that I've found her, I'm not going to let her go.” —The New York Times

“Pilcher evokes the sense of contentment that flows from affection.” —Publishers Weekly

Compelling characters with a mystery thrown in

This is the 2nd Rosamunde Pilcher book I’ve read. The first was “The Shell Seekers.” I loved that book so much that I had to find other Pilcher novels and started my journey with this one.
It’s not quite as good as “The Shell Seekers,” but I REALLY enjoyed it. The set up is the same: the storyline is one main character (Laura), and the rest are characters whose lives intertwine with hers.
This story has a mystery thrown in that is a side plot IMHO.

I think Pilcher is a great writer of modern books. I usually prefer the classics, but these have been delightful. As an American, I’ve been quick to add visiting Cornwall on my bucket list.
One note: I wish the chapters had titles.

I loved it!

What a sweet story! It was just the kind of story I needed on this snowy, cold weekend!

Rosamunde Pilcher, always calms me

In times of great strife in the world, I always look for a Rosamunde Pilcher book to calm me. Although I prefer her long tomes, I decided to try a short one. This one served the usual purpose spectacularly, and read by Jilly Bond, my favorite narrator of RP’s books.

Perfect Pairings

It is a lovely story to be enjoyed on the beach or in a backyard garden on a hot summer day. Romance and mystery is one of the perfect pairings and the other is the author and narrator.

Heart-tugging Twists!

Story compelling, weaving many characters and themes in an appealing way. However, the narration at times sounded a skosh too fast or dramatic, creating listener did-ease.
All came right in the end, however, leaving me with wonderfully calm feelings.
