Summary

For the first time in trade paperback, Rosamunde Pilcher delivers two stories straight from the heart about new beginnings, fresh starts, and the people who never let us go.

In The Empty House, Virginia Keile has been through more at 27 than most people experience in twice as much time—a magical first love ending in heartbreak, a suitable marriage, motherhood, and widowhood. She needs a break, something to take her away from the pain she feels. When she takes her two children to a seaside cottage for much-needed recovery, she never expects to see her true love. Can Virginia find happiness after so much pain?

In The Day of the Storm, Rebecca learns, on the last day of her mother’s life, that she has a family in Cornwall that she never knew existed. She sets out to find a grandfather and cousin that are strangers to her. But only the enigmatic Joss Gardner, the outsider who seems to be the apple of her grandfather’s eye, can help her understand the dark currents that lie behind her family’s loving reception.
