**Teeming with marvelous, memorable characters in a novel that is a true
masterpiece, Rosamunde Pilcher's Coming Home--the basis for the TV
miniseries of the same name--is a book to be savored, reread, and
cherished forever.
Against the backdrop of an elegant Cornwall mansion before World War II
and a vast continent-spanning canvas during the turbulent war years,
this involving story tells of an extraordinary young woman's coming of
age, coming to grips with love and sadness, and in every sense of the
term, coming home...
In 1935, Judith Dunbar is left behind at a British boarding school when
her mother and baby sister go off to join her father in Singapore. At
Saint Ursula's, her friendship with Loveday Carey-Lewis sweeps her into
the privileged, madcap world of the British aristocracy, teaching her
about values, friendship, and wealth. But it will be the drama of war,
as it wrenches Judith from those she cares about most, that will teach
her about courage...and about love.
