Artist's daughter Penelope Keeling can look back on a full and varied life: a Bohemian childhood in London and Cornwall, an unhappy wartime marriage, and the one man she truly loved. She has brought up three children - and learned to accept them as they are. Yet she is far too energetic and independent to settle sweetly into pensioned-off old age.

Escape into Rosamunde Pilcher's world, and meet characters who will become instant friends. The big bedroom was lovely: all pale blue and white, satin and muslin, cool and airy, the windows looking out over the garden to the creek. But to 14-year-old Emily, beautiful though it was, it was all wrong. Her stepmother's bedroom now: everything changed since her own mother had died. And stretched out on the bed: Stephanie, very white and pained. The new baby on its way, a month early.

A place you will never forget. Rosamunde Pilcher's Scotland...where the fields flourish with greenery, the bills bloom with purple, and the lochs glitter with the bright blue of the sky. A time you will never forget. September...when the heather is in full flower, the first chill of autumn cools the air, and the countryside stirs with the hunt, balls, dinner parties, and dance. Rosamunde Pilcher's September...a story of homecomings and heartbreaks, friendships, betrayals, forgiveness, and love.

Enter Rosamunde Pilcher's world of simple joys, of crisp country air and crackling log fires, the pleasures of family reunions and rediscovered friendships. Through thick mist and a cold east wind, Lavinia returns to Scotland. Up at the big house, Mrs Farquhar is dying. Seeing Lachlan again, Lavinia remembers her childhood holidays there: swimming in the loch, the picnics, bottle-feeding the lambs down at the farm and the evenings when they danced reels. Most of all, she remembers Mrs Farquhar's grandson Rory.

At the end of a long and useful life, Penelope Keeling's prized possession is The Shell Seekers, painted by her father, and symbolizing her unconventional life, from bohemian childhood to wartime romance. When her grown children learn their grandfather's work is now worth a fortune, each has an idea as to what Penelope should do. But as she recalls the passions, tragedies, and secrets of her life, she knows there is only one answer...and it lies in her heart.

Laura er Alec Haverstocks kone nummer to og altid opmærksom på dette faktum.

Caroline og Judy Cliburn har næsten nået rejsens mål, da de overraskes af en snestorm midt ude på det skotske højland. De tvinges til at søge tilflugt på et ensomt beliggende gods, Cairney, og bliver inviteret til at bo på godset, indtil rejsen kan fortsætte. Caroline har svært ved at overskue situationen: De er sneet inde langt ude på landet sammen med en vildtfremmed mand, godsejeren Oliver Cairney, og om et par dage skal Caroline være tilbage i London til sit eget bryllup...

Den unge troskyldige Victoria bliver pludselig revet ud af sin trygge dagligdag som ekspedient i London: Hendes gamle kæreste, Oliver, tropper op med sin moderløse 2-årige søn. Sammen tager de op til et skotsk landsted, hvor Oliver har en forfatterkollega for at finde tilbage til hinanden. Her møder de tilfældigvis John, en ung rig amerikaner og arving til landstedet, og med ét ændres alting.

For første gang i sit liv aner Selina Bruce ikke, hvad morgendagen vil bringe - så organiseret, så tjekket, har hendes liv indtil da formet sig. Som en streg slået efter en lineal. Ikke at hun er ked af sit liv, slet ikke, der er bare ikke så mange lyspunkter at se frem til. Så hvad får hende til impulsivt at rejse til en lille spansk ø, efterladende en mildest talt forundret - og fortørnet - forlovet kort før brylluppet? Det må være noget ganske særligt - en far, hun aldrig har kendt, for eksempel, og som hun altid har troet var død.

Tvillingepigerne Rose og Flora bliver skilt fra hinanden kort efter fødslen. Den ene rejser med moderen til Amerika, den anden bliver hos sin far i Cornwall. Ingen af dem kender til den andens eksistens. En dag mødes de tilfældigt, og det sætter en handling i gang, som i hvert fald den ene godt kunne have undværet. De bytter roller, og Flora rejser til Skotland for midlertidigt at indtage Roses plads som Antonys forlovede.

Den 27-årige Virginia har lært en masse om livet; om at gifte sig med en mand, hun ikke elskede, om et ensomt ægteskab, der endte med hendes mands pludselige og voldsomme død, og om næsten at miste sine børn til sin forhadte svigermor. Men nu er hun vendt tilbage til det smukke Cornwall, hvor hun har lejet en hytte ved havet til sig selv og sine børn. Måske kan hun nu fylde det tomme hus med kærlighed.

Det store soveværelse var smukt. Alt var holdt i sart blåt og hvidt, i satin og musselin. Det var køligt og friskt, og fra vinduerne var der udsigt over dalen. Men uanset skønheden virkede alting forkert på den fjortenårige Emily, for efter hendes mors død var det nu blevet hendes stedmors soveværelse. Pludselig en dag ligger stedmoren, Stephanie, hjælpeløs på sengen. En baby er på vej, og Emily er nødt til at tage affære, eftersom hendes far er ude på forretningsrejse... Det blå værelse er en af de dejlige noveller i denne bog.

Virginia Keile has a secret dream. To have a second chance at loving the tall, handsome Cornish farmer she met - and foolishly lost - the heady summer she was a debutante.
