life ..........real life people

i hated to finish this book as i was sadly relating to most of the characters who are drawn from real life.as the parent ages the children circle in for the remains. not many writers tell of this time of life...but it is so true.only the author draws each person deeply to relate and the story goes on to the final end......wonderful wonderful...take the time to read it.........

UP THERE WITH MY ALL TIME FAVORITES

It is high summer and I have just come away from visiting once again with Penelope Keeling and all the wonderful characters in The Shell Seekers. I read this book about 15 years ago when my kids were small.(I have a recollection of watching them in a wading pool while I cried for Penelope over Richard). I usually try to read one old favorite a summer and this year this was it! I long ago lost the paperback copy I had of this book so this time I read a library copy. This book is such a treasure on so many levels that I am going to order a copy for keeps!
It would be wonderful to read these 24 years later what happened to Nancy,Noel and Monica her children and to Antonia and Danus her "adopted" grandchildren. Much of this novel takes place during the second world war.
I seem to be stuck in the WW II in Britain era in my fiction reading,TV watching and DVD watching. See my recomendations below.

The Shell Seekers is fantastic

Rosamund Pilcher does a fantastic job of writing in a style that immerses the reader in the very lives of the character she creates. Although the book jumps around into different time periods, it stays true to each character and leaves nothing hanging.

This book was fantastic and ended far too soon.

emotionally satisfying

I first read this book a couple of decades ago when my mother introduced me to Rosamund Pilcher. I've read it several times since then and last night watched the wonderful film version on television. I'm curious if anyone knows if the book of poetry Richard gives Penelope, Shoreline by Douglas McTeer is fictional or real? I don't find any information about it on line and yet the poem read from it is intriguingly lovely and made me wonder if I could find the author. Do you supposed Ms. Pilcher wrote it herself? (the poem) I'd be interested in hearing from anyone with clues about this. Thanks.

Love this book

This book is great for everyone who likes a wonderful story. Rosamund Pilcher takes you on a wonderful journey of life with all the tangles and heartache and joy that is a part of it.

At the end of a long and useful life, Penelope Keeling's prized possession is The Shell Seekers, painted by her father, and symbolizing her unconventional life, from bohemian childhood to wartime romance. When her grown children learn their grandfather's work is now worth a fortune, each has an idea as to what Penelope should do. But as she recalls the passions, tragedies, and secrets of her life, she knows there is only one answer...and it lies in her heart.
