5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyed reading this!, November 8, 2000

This is a quintessential Rosamunde Pilcher novel. Her characters are almost subdued, a little more like ordinary mortals with their rather unadorned personalities, which give them (esp the major characters) something that attracts kinship with the reader. The story is about how life for anyone has an unexpected whimsy, and finding love in the unlikeliest of places and in the rather unimagined person. Rosamunde Pilcher has mastered the craft of how to make love seem always sweet and precious, in this modern day where everyone is all eager to jump under the covers. Characters in this novel are unpunctuated, yet with all their loose-ended personalities, one sees a possibility that real love is able to blossom despite all kinds of improbabilities. This is a real "must read" for those of us hopelessly in love with love!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Short and Sweet Novel-Pilcher is Always Great!, September 26, 2002

This short and sweet novel of Pilcher is as usual, very well written. Caroline, persuaded by her brother Jody at the beginning of the book, decides to take a trip to Scotland to see their brother Angus, of whom they haven't seen for years. So when a neighbor friend agrees to let Caroline use his old car to travel, they set off for this trip.

What happens as snow falls in April over in Scotland, is the two get stuck in snow, leaving them stranded, but not for long. They are almost to their destination when they meet a kindly gentleman, Oliver Cairney, who provides shelter and food for Caroline and Jody.

Sparks fly between and Oliver and Caroline, but she is engaged to be married soon. The story has a very interesting turn out in the end.

This review is from: Snow In April (Mass Market Paperback)

I loved this book, as I have the other 4 Pilcher books that I have read. Pilcher takes you into her world, and you feel the vulnerability, the joy, pain, and everything in between of her characters in this book. Her descriptions of the countryside are superb.
