The treasure of reading a story by Rosamunde Pilcher is the enchantment one feels through her characterizations and descriptive writing. Reading one of her stories is like wrapping yourself in a cozy blanket of warmth. The stories are of everyday experiences that happen during a lifetime, from ordinary days to holidays – friendships, pregnancies, marriages, blending families, career choices, retirement, and loss of friends and loved ones. Within the characterizations, emotions become transparent with an understanding of how they may change through experiences from childhood to adulthood, that kindness, thoughtfulness, and encouragement are gifts to one another, and that generosity of time shared is priceless.
