Today's the day.
For me, winter solstice is not just the shortest day of the year; it's also one of my favorite books. I read this Rosamunde Pilcher novel almost every year, and no matter what else is going on in my life, I can escape to the world of her beautiful descriptions of people, landscapes, and interiors. It's such a comforting, satisfying story: the really nice people find happiness.
Wishing you a happy shortest day of the year, all you Northern Hemisphere people!

ReplyDeleteLike the above commenter, I saw that another blogger mentioned reading this every winter ... now it will bug me until I figure it out.
ReplyDeleteDon't you enjoy books with happy endings? (Real life has enough tragedy, I think. No need to read about it too. Perhaps I'm a literary wimp.)
Happy winter and enjoy your re-read! It's so nice to read a good book over again.
Oh, I have never read this. I will have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteIt's my Christmas read too.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
