Captivating

A journey back to Cornwall with its train rides, sandy beaches and coves. A good quick read.

--Get away to Cornwall for a few hours--

Rosamunde Pilcher is one of the most reliable authors that I read. She always delivers an entertaining story. THE CAROUSEL takes place in Cornwall, a spot that this author writes about with a great deal of enthusiasm and comfort. Prue Shackleton at the age of twenty-three, is an attractive and responsible young woman. Her mother feels that its time for her to settle down. Prue isn't sure about that even though there is a kind and wholesome Scotsman who is hoping to marry her. In her heart she knows that he's not the man she wants to spend her life with. On the eve of a visit to meet his parents in Scotland, Pure hears that her favorite aunt has just broken her arm and she rushes to Cornwall to help her. On the train to Cornwall, Prue becomes acquainted with a sad little girl who is going to visit her grandmother. In Cornwall, she also meets Daniel Cassens, a well-known artist who she finds quite attractive. What follows is a story that involves everyone that I've mentioned and it all takes place in beautiful Cornwall. For complete enjoyment and relaxation all that's needed is a Pilcher book and a cup of Earl Grey. I believe that I've now read all of Pilcher's stories, hopefully she'll write a few more!

A good and easy literature. I enjoy a lot with it.

I don't want to choose this book between all I read by Rosamund Pilcher. I discovered that I love all this author writes in the moment my boyfried gave me "El regreso" (the return... I don't remember the original title. This book, in the pocket edition, I could read it in two weeks, or less... In that moment I needed and I need to read all the books Rosamunde Pilcher wrote and I would like to know the biography of this author that makes me feel inside of all the stories of her books. In this case, in Carousel, you can see the independent characters she like to write about, and she makes me identify with this one. I smile when I read these books. I started to read the first book I found of her in September, and I have read seven books writen by her. Thanks to her because I love to read more than ever.
