A Place Like Home: Short Stories by Rosamunde Pilcher
5.0
4.5/5⭐️
I was thrilled to discover this new anthology of short stories recently discovered and written by one of my favorite authors. It felt like coming home as I read them.
Pilcher writes with a descriptive, and deceptively simple quality that almost feels like poetry to me. Each story (there are 15) made me wish for a full-length novel. Yes, she writes romance but not just love stories…her characters are so fully developed, her settings so fully imagined that the romance sometimes can feel like an afterthought.
My favorites here were A Place Like Home and Skelmerton, but I loved them all.
My sincere thanks to #NetGalley and #StMartinsPress for providing me the free early arc for review. The opinions are strictly my own.
