The empty house - Rosamunde Pilcher

A heartwarming story by the much-loved Rosamunde Pilcher.

Virginia Keile has a secret dream.
To have a second chance at loving the tall, handsome Cornish farmer she met - and foolishly lost - the heady summer she was a debutante.
Life has taught Virginia a great deal in twenty-seven years - about wedding a titled bachelor picked out by her mother, about a lonely marriage that ended in her husband's accidental death, and about nearly losing her children to her husband's mother and bossy Nanny.
Now she has come back to picturesque Cornwall to rent a battered seaside cottage.
For herself and for the children.
And to discover if this time she can fill an empty house with love.
