Customer Reviews

A great read!

This was adorable. I never had "Grannies" quite as flamboyant as Rosie, but mine certainly would not allow themselves to be pigeon-holed into old age. I think I am a bit like them. I loved this book and think it really gives you a roadmap to follow as you age. Rosie was so lovable. I loved the family dynamics. Who doesn't seem to have a family in which there are eccentric, but lovable characters? After reading it, it made me reflect on my own family a bit more, and I really wish I would have gotten to know certain members deeper before their parting. So, it tells me perhaps I should think about how I relating to my own Grandsons. I certainly hope I grow old gracefully and with the spontaneous outlook that Rosie has. A fun read I would recommend, especially to the "over 60" set.

History and Family dynamics = a good reading

I did not know Mr. Titmarsh wrote novels, and was delighted with Rosie, it is an enchanting story with wonderful locale, well fleshed out characters and I literally fell in and did not come up for air until I had turned the last page. Thank you Mr. Titmarsh for a lovely book, now I am on safari for more of his novels.

Rosie

Rosie is a book that I thoroughly enjoyed. I fell in love with Rosie and her grandson. Mr. Titchmarsh brings his characters alive with a sense of realism. They were people that I could relate to. The location was another separate character in the book. I want to visit the area some day. I was delighted to find Mr. Titchmarsh's books. I just ordered another and look forward to ordering more.
