  <default_description>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.Teeming with marvelous, memorable characters in a novel that is a true masterpiece, Coming Home is a book to be savored, reread, and cherished forever.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I really love Rosamunde Pilcher books.  I hate how they look like sappy romance novels because somebody put dorky flowers and curlicues all over the cover, but rest assured, they're far from that genre.  This is one of my particular favorites.  It follows a girl (left in boarding school in England w...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/11587870">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a beautifully written novel about coming of age during WWII in England.  I enjoyed following the main character, Judith, as she attends boarding school, becomes friends with Loveday, grows up and falls in love.  I thought the author did an excellent job in capturing the time period and I hi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/49367332">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this book years ago, but I still remember it fondly.  It takes place in England in a time before WWII and introduces one into a way of life that is swept away when the war begins.  It is the life of wealthy, but ethical and principled people, in the upper class.  It is educational, a good rea...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77037369">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[An old fashioned British coming of age epic set during WWII era.  Explores issues of class, effects of wartime, loss, love.  A bit of a soap opera, but in a good way.  Pilcher has a way of fleshing out characters and describing a setting so well you can picture it perfectly.  Some minor sexual situa...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78278292">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was just too slow, with lengthy descriptions of flowers in gardens and furniture in rooms that didn't add to the story.  While the main storyline of Judith is a beautiful love story, Pilcher has tried to squeeze too many characters into the book, and it just comes away feeling crowded.

    <body><![CDATA[Memorable characters, lovely settings, this is a delightfully entertaining book of warmth and charm set against the turbulence of WWII.  I love her descriptions of the coasts of Cornwall and the society of London.  Sometimes I need a cozy read which transports me to another time and place.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I don't tend to re read this books but this is a book that I would read again and again. I just loved it. It was a little slow starting but once I got into it not only did I not want to put it down but I was sad when it was over. I absolutely LOVED this book and would recommend it HIGHLY!]]></body>
