“A favorite...read it a long time ago. Unforgettable characters that made you want to read Pilcher's other books..I also did read the sequel.

“An intriguing story of love, and it's many facets. Of a beautiful lady, Penelope Keeling, her three children, all quite different from each other. Shell Seekers was a painting by her father, and the importance of this piece to Penelope and her children. This story is about Penelope's family and what they each believed was their entitlement to the painting, showing the ugly side of greed, but also the love and understanding of Olivia, her youngest child, now a successful young woman. Great read, and most enjoyable”

“This was a lovely little story that took entirely too long in the telling. I enjoyed it, but found myself rushing through it because it was taking too long! ”

“Rosamunde Pilcher can paint a picture with words that will stay with you forever. Penelope is the mother and this a story of her life. She has 3 children who want to make choices for her that she is not ready to accept. She has valuable paintings that her son wants to sell. She has a love of her life and a chance at happiness. Life is too short as it is not to follow your heart.”

“A love story, part historical fiction, part contemporary fiction, England, Wales, art, strong women who survive. What's not to like?”

“I read this book years ago (as in 15). But just reread it for book club. I found it hard to get into unless I really had the time to delve into it for a stretch of time and lose myself in Pilcher's detailed descriptions. It is not my favorite book that she wrote. It seems so sad. ”
