11 ratings4 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5On the day of her mother's death, Rebecca discovers that she has family that she has never met living in Cornwall. She sets out to meet her grandfather and cousin. Her new family greets her very lovingly but only Joss Gardner, the outsider who seems to be the apple of her grandfather's eye, can help her understand the dark currents behind their reception of her. I liked this story and give it an A!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Easy reading little book, but, not up to the ususal intrigue in Pilcher books.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Disappointing. This story had the potential to be great. Pilcher fills the pages of most of the book building it full of suspenseful intrigue only to give you a boring ending that seems to not even really fit into the story. It will leave you shaking your head wondering what the point of the of the story was. Granted the book is from the 1970's and British making it possible that I have missed the mark on the story due to generation and cultural differences.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Nice light little book. Easy reading but a somewhat trite. Takes no genius to guess where the plot is taking the reader.
