After years in the United States, Jane returns to the tranquil Scottish estate, Elvie, where she spent a magical childhood. Memories of Elvie had always summoned the image of Sinclair, the rakish man Jane had once dreamed of marrying, but now that she is home, she finds Sinclair a different man. His charm has a purpose, and Jane can no longer trust him...or herself.
Unfortunately rather disappointing... but then Rosamunde Pilcher's short books often are. It seems that when she doesn't have the necessary time and space to expand on her ideas, she rushes through the plot making the characters one-dimensional and the plot unrealistic.
Her writing style is still charming, and it was a good choice for a readathon, but I doubt I'll ever reread this.
