If you are a Shell Seekers or Winter Solstice fan, you will want this list of Rosamunde Pilcher books in order.
Rosaumne Pilcher writes about real life in a relatable way. She shares the good and bad things in life, and she does it in such a beautiful way.
Most of her books were written over thirty years ago, but they don’t feel dated.
She writes about everyday life issues that people dealt with years ago and that are still issues that we deal with today.
She writes about living and dying. She writes about love, marriage, and divorce. She shares the challenges and strengths of family and community.
Most of her books are set in England or Scotland, but I think they are relatable no matter where you live.
If you like books like The Mitford Books or Wendell Berry’s Hannah Coulter, which share real life in a quiet, beautiful way, you should give Rosamunde Pilcher a try.
