Rosamunde Pilcher's September...a story of homecomings and heartbreaks, friendships, betrayals, forgiveness, and love.

Story
When Claire Barclay receives news that her beloved stepfather has had a stroke, she's more than a little shaken. Leo is her last real relative, and his own children rarely check up on the old man. Claire and her husband, Art, leave New York and fly back to Scotland to care for him during the summer. Their visit makes clear that Leo is no longer capable of living on his own, but he is determined to stay in his beloved old house. Art comes up with the idea of turning the place into a conference center, thinking they could purchase the place from Leo and build him a cottage on the property.

Publisher's Summary
Teeming with marvelous, memorable characters in an audiobook that is a true masterpiece, Rosamunde Pilcher's Coming Home is a story to be savored, re-listened to, and cherished forever.
Set against the backdrop of an elegant Cornwall mansion before World War II and a vast continent-spanning canvas during the turbulent war years, this captivating 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.

still one of my favourites
I love love this story and only because of that did I manage to make it through. Not a fan of the narrator's voice. Though animated, it seemed too frail for such young characters. And I found the chapters/sections too long. It became bothersome to find where I left off (fell asleep).

great story but they forgot about chapters.
The story was great. The recording does not indicate chapters because of this it gets confusing as its not clear when there is a change in direction like a new chapter. Also making it hard to back up for whatever reason as its broken up by the sections in the book. So you are faced with a 10 hour segment.

I forgot how wonderful this story is!
I love the war time details, the beautiful locations, the everyday descriptions of delicious meals and drinks and lovely homes, and the wonderfully drawn characters. It is truly like settling in to a downy chair in a quiet, well appointed room in a stately home and daydreaming up a perfect story. Enjoy!

Is it really over???
I did not want this novel to end. The characters were so real and interesting, the history and events intertwined with their lives creating the most wonderfully captivating story. The narrator captured the essence beautifully in her depiction of the characters and their lives. Truly an outstanding read. And Judith is my hero.
