Winter Solstice by Rosamunde Pilcher
This pleasant story about the families we have and those that we make, takes place around Christmas.
Elfrida, aged 62, is a retired actress. After her lover dies, she moves from London to a small English village (the type of village featured on "Escape to the Country") and befriends the Blundells--Oscar, Gloria, and their daughter Francesca. Following a tragedy, Elfrida and Oscar move to Scotland, to Oscar's family home. Oscar and Elfrida seem to attract other strays, people down and out on their luck or simply at a crossroads in life.
I enjoyed this cosy story and the patchwork of friends and family Pilcher created. This was the first novel by Pilcher that I have read and I think I'll read some more.
