  <description><![CDATA[When you read a novel by Rosamunde Pilcher you enter a special world where emotions sing from the heart. A world that lovingly captures the ties that bind us to one another-the joys and sorrows, heartbreaks and misunderstandings, and glad, perfect moments when we are in true harmony. A world filled with evocative, engrossing, and above all, enjoyable portraits of people's lives and loves, tenderly laid open for us....Oliver Dobbs was a writer first, and a man second. To him other people were tools. Even though he had broken Victoria Bradshaw's heart once, when he arrived on her doorstep with a two-year-old son, she found she could not refuse him, and the three of them set out for a castle in Scotland. There, Victoria meets the new laird and finds her crushed spirit awakening.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[When you read a novel by Rosamunde Pilcher you enter a special world where emotions sing from the heart. A world that lovingly captures the ties that bind us to one another-the joys and sorrows, heartbreaks and misunderstandings, and glad, perfect moments when we are in true harmony. A world filled with evocative, engrossing, and above all, enjoyable portraits of people's lives and loves, tenderly laid open for us....Oliver Dobbs was a writer first, and a man second. To him other people were tools. Even though he had broken Victoria Bradshaw's heart once, when he arrived on her doorstep with a two-year-old son, she found she could not refuse him, and the three of them set out for a castle in Scotland. There, Victoria meets the new laird and finds her crushed spirit awakening.]]>

    <![CDATA[When you read a novel by Rosamunde Pilcher you enter a special world where emotions sing from the heart. A world that lovingly captures the ties that bind us to one another-the joys and sorrows, heartbreaks and misunderstandings, and glad, perfect moments when we are in true harmony. A world filled with evocative, engrossing, and above all, enjoyable portraits of people's lives and loves, tenderly laid open for us....Oliver Dobbs was a writer first, and a man second. To him other people were tools. Even though he had broken Victoria Bradshaw's heart once, when he arrived on her doorstep with a two-year-old son, she found she could not refuse him, and the three of them set out for a castle in Scotland. There, Victoria meets the new laird and finds her crushed spirit awakening.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I love absolutely every Rosamund Pilcher novel I've ever read (which is all of them) except this one. I think it's because it's the only one in which she describes a couple having sex, and she doesn't do it very well. It's not in keeping with the tone of the rest of her books, and it seems clear to ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20635672">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Okay...going into this, I already knew that Rosamunde Pilcher's books moved at a very leisurely pace, but this one was absolutely excruciating.  Besides that, just about nothing actually happened in the book and it was all just very predictable.  Not to mention there are only so many descriptions of...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/31569687">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Pretty crappy writing, but when it comes to the life of English countryside and twentysomething romances, Pilcher brings it on. This one's about a painter who shows up on the steps of his old flame with a baby in his arms. Doesn't quite end the way you expect it. (Bubblegum fic; 300 pages)]]></body>
