Certainly not one I'd read again. So, we agree! :)<br /><br />Off to look at Doc Martin on Netflix...<br /><br />Kay - Would you like my copy?

...I wrote about this in my journal five years ago:<br /><br />'The Empty House by Rosamunde Pilcher 1973<br /> Books on Tape read by Donada Peters<br /> Fiction B<br />I bought this book, but won't keep it. I had thought this was one of my favorite R. Pilcher books, but I wasn't as impressed on this reading. I still enjoyed the book but its charm for me lies more in the descriptions of home and countryside rather than in the actual story. It was an okay book - a little like a Thomas Hardy misunderstanding with a happy ending. It was pleasant enough listening to it, but I probably won't read the book again.'<br /><br />From your review, you seem to feel about the same.<br /><br />I was in Cornwall once, back in 1977 when we got married, and it is as beautiful as she so often describes. My current love is Port Isaac where Doc Martin is set. How we love that British series (several seasons are on dvd).Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.com
