All in all, it’s a luxurious collection of classic, traditional architecture, fashion, and culture. It is a story about love, friendship, courage, and great wealth, all set against a richly detailed backdrop of the English well-to-do during the late 1930s. While at boarding school, Judith befriends wealthy, capricious Loveday Carey-Lewis, and is swept into the world of aristocratic England and the family’s seaside estate in Cornwall, Nancherrow. Set in England, the story opens in 1935 and follows the tale of Judith Dunbar, left behind at an English boarding school by her mother and sister, who leave to join her father, posted over seas. At the top of that list is Rosamunde Pilcher’s 1995 #1 bestselling romance novel, “Coming Home” (which also was made into a two-volume DVD by Acorn Media). There are only a handful of books and movies that I’ve enjoyed so much I continue to read or watch them again. Screen shot from the DVD, Rosamunde Pilcher’s “Coming Home”.
