4.0 out of 5 stars Take A Trip Into the Comforting World of Rosamunde Pilcher, September 14, 2006
By Antoinette Klein (Hoover, Alabama USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
If you long for the warmth of an aga, dream of afternoon tea with freshly baked scones dripping with hot butter and Devonshire cream, and imagine gathering the dogs for an afternoon run through fields of heather, then Rosamunde Pilcher will surely delight you.

This is one of her earlier works, written years before she became an international best- seller, yet no less enjoyable in its own way. This is the story of young Jane Marsh who loses her mother and travels the US with her vagabond father for seven years. When the story picks up, Jane is twenty-one and called home to Elvie, her grandmother's lush estate in her native Scotland.

Jane is reunited not only with her beloved maternal grandmother, but also with Sinclair, the dashingly handsome cousin she has loved for a long as she can remember. His proposal of marriage is offset by revelations Jane uncovers about his character. A late-night phone call, a missing book, and the problem of an aging caretaker help Jane see Sinclair in a different light.

Meanwhile, there is David Stewart, the dependable family solicitor who is always there with his competence, his dependability, and his growing infatuation with Jane.

Illusions are shattered and new alliances formed as the reader enjoys a cozy romance as only Rosamunde Pilcher can deliver.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good but not perfect Pilcher outing, November 26, 2000
By Fearless Artist (Pasadena, CA United States) - See all my reviews
If you have never read Rosamunde Pilcher, start with Coming Home or The Shell Seekers or even the recent Winter Solstice. All are great representives of Pilcher's unique character-driven novels. This one, though fine, is too short in length as well as in character detail. It is a fine little "Pilcher fix", if you are a fan.

3.0 out of 5 stars Easy reading, but not one of Rosemunde Pilcher's best., May 16, 1999
By A Customer
"The End of Summer" was true to the Rosemunde Pilcher formula: conflicted heroine torn between two men. It was easy reading, predictable, but lacked the depth and character development of "Coming Home" and "The Shell Seekers." If you're looking for summer vacation or airport reading and you like Ms. Pilcher's work, this would fill the bill.

I love all books by Pilcher. She has a way of creating such memorable characters that you actually feel as though you personally know. Read more

I enjoyed this book a lot. It is a smooth-flowing book with a good plot, and the characters are very believable. Good Pilcher stuff!!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars This is an older book
The reason this feels less in-depth than Pilcher's major novels is that this is actually an early novel that was re-released after she became a bestseller. Read more
