St Martins Pr November 1, 199 0-312-05388-6 / 9780312053888 Hardcover; w/j used; both book/jacket very good
The Blue Bedroom and Other Stories, which explores themes such as the deathof a loved one, overcoming prejudice, understanding children and appreciating one's spouse. Each story ends on a note of love, faith, understanding or hope. While generally following the Pilcher tradition of delicate etiquette, Whitfield has an annoying habit of imparting squeaky condescension to the dialogue of any character under the age of 21.

Pilcher, Rosamunde The End Of Summer
St. Martin's Paperbacks January 15, 199 0-312-96128-6 / 9780312961282 Paperback used: good
SOME SOIL ON THE BOTTOM EDGEStella Gonet portrays each of the Scottish characters with light accents; the Americans sound native. Gonet's warm voice reflects the love of Jane's grandmother and father, and adjusts to the harsher tones of Sinclair's calculated love. This captivating tale is marred only by the low tone of Gonet'svoice, which sometimes fades, requiring adjustment of the volume. M.B.K. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to theAudio Cassetteedition.

On the heels of a hasty wartime marriage, Penelope Keeling is left to repent at leisure in the English seaside town of Porthkerris, where her artist father and her French mother are spending the duration of World War II. Safein the embracing arms of that warm household, Penelope forgets her sour husband and takes a lover, and in that relationship, too, she weathers the war's privations and its hardest blows. In a beautifully detailed family sagathat shifts effortlessly back and forth in time, Pilcher (Under Gemini) recounts Penelope's story and that of her three children. When their grandfather's work suddenly comes into vogue, Nancy, obsessed over status, and sleek Noel, adept at getting the most and giving the least, join in urging their mother to sell The Shell Seekers, a painting that gives her great joy. Only Olivia, a cool and collected magazine editor, refuses to be party to their barely concealed avarice. Pilcher's 13th book is a satisfying and savoryfamily novel, in which rich layers of description and engagingly flawed characters more than make up for the occasional cliche.

Rosamunde Pilcher's novel, despite its chilly setting, will warm the heartsof her growing army of loyal fans.

Former actress Elfrida--not very good by her own admission--leaves London for a geriatric bolthole in the country where she meets retired schoolmaster and organist, Oscar. Meanwhile, Carrie (Elfrida's second cousin), returns to London from Austria where she had a brilliant career in the tourist industry, only to find her niece, 14-year-old Lucy, sadly neglected by her selfish mother and equally spoiled grandmother. Finally,handsome Sam is recalled from New York by his company chairman to revive an ailing Scottish textile mill.
