I am a fan of Rosamunde Pilcher and had just completed a trip to Scotland when I discovered Winter Solstice (bulk of the story takes place in the far Highlands, above Inverness). The book combines the usual threads of an R Pilcher novel - very true, believable people falling in to events that could happen, not contrived. It is her storytelling, moving, weaving in a very subtle (very Scottish) manner that hooks the reader until the very last page, and makes them wish the story would continue. Taking place around the year it was published (2000), the novel reflects fairly modern times. The main characters come from busy London (and other cities, south) to a remote village in the Highlands (not necessarily up to the expected standards of 2000). It is Rosamunde Pilcher's painting of her homeland of Scotland that makes you feel like you are in the heart of the Highlands and experiencing its unique trials of everyday life as the characters come together with their own problems and memories (+/-) and hopes (but not too hopeful)for the future, culminating in a warm and sincere Christmas season. Great book, especially if you are Rosamunde Pilcher fan.Read full review
I read this book every year at the beginning of December. It's like visiting an old friend!

If you have ever read one of Rosamounde Pilcher's books, I feel certain that it was just the beginning of your journey. She will take you to places you will be glad you went and introduce you to characters you will walk with and experience time as if you were there with them. As you turn the pages in her book you will not want to put it down. "Winter Solstice" is one of her best. A friend loaned me one of her books and I was hooked. So I found "Winter Solstice" at the library and read it in July one year and enjoyed it and encouraged my daughter to read it. It has become her favorite. Rosamounde Pilcher has a way to keep the reader comfortable and cozy even in the middle of the winter season. "Winter Solstice" is a very good feeling book to be enjoyed in any season. So when I saw this "1" edition book on eBay I bought it for my daughter for a Christmas present this year.Read full review
This the fourth book I’ve read, shared and given away to friends. I plan to read the big four, The She’ll Seekers, September, Coming Home and Winter Soltice again in 2020 because I’ve just been diagnosed with macular degeneration and want to enjoy them one more time. Ms Pilcher passed away in April so we’ll never have more.
