Publisher's summary

Teeming with marvelous, memorable characters in an audiobook that is a true masterpiece, Rosamunde Pilcher's Coming Home is a story to be savored, re-listened to, and cherished forever.

Set against the backdrop of an elegant Cornwall mansion before World War II and a vast continent-spanning canvas during the turbulent war years, this captivating story tells of an extraordinary young woman's coming of age, coming to grips with love and sadness, and in every sense of the term, coming home....

In 1935, Judith Dunbar is left behind at a British boarding school when her mother and baby sister go off to join her father in Singapore. At Saint Ursula's, her friendship with Loveday Carey-Lewis sweeps her into the privileged, madcap world of the British aristocracy, teaching her about values, friendship, and wealth.

But it will be the drama of war, as it wrenches Judith from those she cares about most, that will teach her about courage...and about love.

Marvelous story line, Excellent narration

Wonderful characters against the back drop of WWII. Did not want the story to end.
The narrator gave an excellent preformance and made listening to the novel worthwhile.

thoroughly enjoyable!

if it weren't for spot of poor quality in the audio where the splicing changes volume dramatically I would have given this a 5-star review.

One of my favorite books

I had read this book years ago and fell in love with it. The only audio version I had ever found was an abridged version. I was absolutely thrilled when this came to audible. It was like visiting with an old friend. Thank U thank U thank U for bringing it here

A great long listen!

I loved the character development and the Cornwall setting. Her description of pre-WWII life followed by the living in the war years adds depth to the novel. A great book for long distance driving, sewing, or just relaxing.
