Cornwall revisited

Customer Rating:

I took one look at the cover of this book and knew I had to read it. It instantly said 'Cornwall' to me. I was not disappointed. When the book arrived it was packed in my suitcase ready to take to Cornwall. It took a lot of inner strength not to read it before our holiday. Once started I really couldn't put it down. Infact, I'd get up an hour earlier every day just to have some quiet reading time. We managed to get to Lamorna Cove and it really brought the book to life for me. Friends of mine who have borrowed it loved it too.

A fantastic read!	Customer Rating:
What a fantastic read - I am very glad I stumbled across this in the local book store. This is a real page turner, perfect for a rainy weekend. The two stories - set ca. 100 years apart - intertwine beautifully and also the atmosphere of Cornwall in various seasons is described to perfection. I am already onto Rachel Hore's other book - The Dream House, equally absorbing.

Unmemorable

Customer Rating:

I persisted with this book far longer than I should have - I could have been reading something worthwhile. Ploughed through to the half way point, expecting that something interesting must happen soon (no), not at all interested in what happened to any of the dull and one dimensional characters. I eventually skipped to the end to see what happened, which was what I was expecting. Saved myself a few hours and can now move onto something I might actually enjoy. Disappointing.

Pleasurable and absorbing

Customer Rating:

A charming, enjoyable book with a thoughtful slant on morals and kindness. The slips between two time periods were handled proficiently and without jarring. For me it was a relaxing, happy read with much to feel at home with. I live near the area and the descriptions of the lanes, villages and people were all well drawn. Not a book to discuss at length but one to pass on to a friend with the knowledge that you are giving them a treat.

Nothing special- borrow it, don't buy it!!

Customer Rating:

This is a very average book- the type of story you have read a dozen times before. A beautiful heroine on the rebound tries to write a book and 'find herself' in remote Cornish village. Two men fall in love with her then the dastardly ex wants her back... Ooh, what is going to happen, who will she choose? Who really cares?? Oh, and a flimsy sub-plot involving a beautiful servant girl...Very disappointing.
