Deze serie duikt in de levenscyclus en zijn transformaties, geïnspireerd door de veranderende seizoenen. Elk deel onderzoekt diepe menselijke emoties, relaties en persoonlijke groei in de loop van de tijd. Het biedt een poëtisch perspectief op de vluchtigheid van momenten en de kracht van de natuurlijke orde. Deze collectie is een uitnodiging om na te denken over iemands eigen reis en de terugkerende cycli ervan.
Ein lebensfroher Sommer mit Rosamunde Pilcher: In acht stimmungsvollen Geschichten geht es um morgendliche Spaziergänge, Kinderfreundschaften, lange Sommernachmittage, große und kleine Gefühle und die Wechselfälle im Spiel, das Leben heißt.
Elfrida Phipps, sessantenne ex attrice di musical, è affranta dal dolore per la morte dell'uomo che ha sempre amato. Oscar Blundell, musicista in pensione, ha perso la moglie e la figlia in un tragico incidente. Uniti dalle avversità, Oscar e Elfrida decidono di lasciarsi alle spalle il passato e di trasferirsi in Scozia per ricucire le fila delle loro esistenze. Il primo Natale trascorso insieme ridà a entrambi la forza di ricominciare a vivere e di riassaporare la gioia dei sentimenti.
Elfrida Phipps loves her new life in the pretty Hampshire village. She has a tiny cottage, her faithful dog Horace and the friendship of the neighbouring Blundells - particularly Oscar - to ensure that her days include companionship as well as independence. But an unforeseen tragedy upsets Elfrida's tranquillity: Oscar's wife and daughter are killed in a terrible car crash and he finds himself homeless when his stepchildren claim their dead mother's inheritance. Oscar and Elfrida take refuge in a rambling house in Scotland which becomes a magnet for various waifs and strays who converge upon it, including an unhappy teenage girl. It could be a recipe for disaster. But somehow the Christmas season weaves its magical spell and for Elfrida and Oscar, in the evening of their lives, the winter solstice brings love and solace.
