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...

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.

É um romance agradável de ler, tem um pouco de “palha” desnecessária mas quem conhece os livros de Rosamund sabe que é normal, e para não variar, um final feliz.

Uma delícia.
A escrita leve mas detalhada em descrições de ambientes e pessoas da Rosamunde Pilcher é a definição de aconchegante.

A mulher era muito boa nisso mesmo.

Bem, lê-se assim num rapidinho.
É uma história bonita, que rapidamente nos cativa, como esperava desta autora. Achei o final muito rápido, esperava um maior desenvolvimento. Gostei, aliás, gostei de todos os livros que já li desta autora. Venham mais!

Esperava bastante mais deste livro, confesso. No entanto gostei da leitura fácil e da composição das personagens.
A história é boa e faz-nos pensar naquilo que esperamos dos outros e de nós próprios. Mas esperava mais desenvolvimento. Soube-me a pouco.
