Teeming with marvelous, memorable characters in a novel that is a true masterpiece, Rosamunde Pilcher's Coming Home―the basis for the TV miniseries of the same name―is a book to be savored, reread, and cherished forever.

Against the backdrop of an elegant Cornwall mansion before World War II and a vast continent-spanning canvas during the turbulent war years, this involving story tells of an extraordinary young woman's coming of age, coming to grips with love and sadness, and in every sense of the term, coming home...

In 1935, Judith Dunbar is left behind at a British boarding school when her mother and baby sister go off to join her father in Singapore. At Saint Ursula's, her friendship with Loveday Carey-Lewis sweeps her into the privileged, madcap world of the British aristocracy, teaching her about values, friendship, and wealth. But it will be the drama of war, as it wrenches Judith from those she cares about most, that will teach her about courage...and about love.

Her descriptions of people and places are so perfect you feel like you know them and are there too. I think she is one of the best authors of our time and her books are classics. This and the shell Seekers are just so good.

This uplifting story unfolds in a mastery of character development that begins in good times and at the brink of war and then thru the hard times of the war. Patriotism abounds. The plot is a tour de force. It is a story about love but also about how people can live in harmonious relationships with each.

Bought this as a gift for my daughter. I have read this book multiple times, and listened to the audio version multiple times. I never get tired of it. She wanted something to read, so I recommended this and bought it for her. She, too, loved it. This is a wonderful read!!

I must have read this book 30 years ago and I loved it then and I love it now ! So much detail and I feel I could go to Cornwall and recognize it, the rich descriptions of the sea, the cliffs the beautiful landscape. It is such an engrossing story over a great deal of time and such rich , wonderfully developed characters. Anyone who loves family sagas will enjoy this book and find it hard to put down! Rosamunde Pilcher is an amazing writer. The first book of hers I read was “The shell seekers”, still in my top ten!

A sweet, warm story of a young girl turned woman in the pre war and WWII years. It is a story of family ties, friendship and loyalty, love won and lost, and above all, the warm prospect of finally coming home.

5.0 out of 5 stars So happy to have discovered…
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2024

An author who writes well with engaging plots and interesting characters is a joy to find. I like a line from this story, “I’m going to feed you books…” Yes. Books can be consumed and enjoyed with every bite. What a treat. I liked this story especially because it relates the lives of several characters born in the 1920s. It tells of their lives growing up in Great Britain and then their engagement in World War Two. Pilcher entwined their lives with the culture of the times as well, especially music, thus giving a greater depth to the story. This book was a fun read and hard to put down.
