Rosamunde Pilcher, author of THE SHELL SEEKERS, died at the age of 94. We were lucky enough to have visited her at her home in Scotland to discuss her experience as a bestselling author.

It was wonderful seeing this interview of my favorite author. It is hard for me to put into words the joy that her books have given me. My favorite book of her’s is Winter Solstice. I read or listen to it at least twice a year. Being a 79 year old widow and living alone, especially during the trying times all over the world, i find her books and movies have given me great comfort at this time of my life. I am so sorry she is no longer with us and the world will no longer have books by Rosamunde Pilcher. I hope that somehow her family might read my comment and realize what reading pleasure she has given me as well as her millions of fans. May she Rest In Peace.

She responded to a letter I sent to her in the late 1990s by sending me a card with a picture of Cornwall she had taken herself. The message was lovely. It’s a very treasured possession. Lovely to see this interview.

No one writes as Rosamunde Pilcher. Simply the warmest, most articulate, sharpest mind at description and perspective of any writer. Mrs. Piilcher unlocks truths about being a mother, a daughter, husband, son, or any heart searching deeply, even desperately for a chance to give and receive love. I'm a wiser person, if I may say it, because when I read her novels, she gives be her wisdom. Never cliche, always fresh, yet familiar in tone of voice. When I finish one of her novels, I wander around the house, bereft for a time because her families have become mine, and curiously enough, I a part of hers somehow.

I love her books and especially Winter Soltice. I read it again every year. The book makes you feel snuggly with a cup of tea.

I began reading Rosamunde Pilcher at the age of 62 and have read Coming Home, The Shell Seekers my 2 favorites and probably 10 more of her shorter stories. She really can take you into feeling her characters, she is an artist at understanding emotion. I could so relate to Penelope Keeling and her family. I am reading her early short stories tonight. In this insane time to be living with this Covid 19 and cities being destroyed amid rising Marxism it is nice to get away from it all for a little while with this talented ladies beautiful stories. She was a rare jewel and I am glad I found her work.

Thank you, thank you for posting this. I simply adore her and relished every minute of the interview. Rosamunde Pilcher's books have brought me countless hours of sheer contentment, and when life gets hard, there is nothing as comforting as getting swept away in one of her wonderful stories. I am heartbroken that she is gone. Quite a special lady.

Love, love her. Her books have helped me escape from some rough times in my life. Went to Dundee once and, oh how I wish I could have gone down the road, knocked on her door and said “ Could we have a cup of tea, and talk? “ I would have loved to talk to her about her work and life.

I started reading as a very young girl. It became an important part of my life. I have read books of all kinds. The Classics, historical, science fiction, murder mysteries, autobiographical, you name it and when I read and reread and reread Rosamund Pilcher, I feel like I am coming home after a long journey. Like drinking a cool fresh glass of water on a hot, sweltering day. I adore her and her writing. I always hoped she would write one more book......

I really enjoy her novels, especially The Shell Seekers! But the first one I read was Voices In Summer, which I found in an old 2nd hand bookshop. Really good story. I know most of her tales are romantic nonsense, and most of the characters are well heeled and live very charmed lives, but she mixes in Bohemian characters and lots of interesting and challenging situations. There's always tremendous attention to detail of her numerous characters and I also love the descriptions of Cornwall...I've never been there, but really want to visit! I'm addicted to Rosamund Pilcher novels, and hope to read ALL of them!!
