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...
There were only two men in Emma's life-her father, a remote artist who left her in boarding school and saw her every few years, and Christo, who had been her stepbrother for a few months, and now wanted to get to know her. But until Emma can understand what she means to them, there will never be room for love.

Jeg er helt enig med mange andre anmeldere, Pilchers længere bøger er meget bedre end de korte.
Der er ikke mange overraskende twists eller handling i Pilchers bøger det er mere en hyggelig stemning der gør dem så læsværdige, desværre er der ikke tid til at opbygge stemningen i de korte bøger, der nærmest har novelle-længde.
Genlæst 2025:
Enig i min 12-anmeldelse, bogne er for kort til at Pilcher riftigt kommer til sin ret. Det er også en dameblads-særudgave, så det kunne sagtens være den bare er ment som en novelle.
bliver nu lagt i giv-væk bunken.
