- Rosamunde Pilcher, author of THE SHELL SEEKERS, died at the age of 94.
We were lucky enough to have visited her at her home in Scotland to discuss her experience as a bestselling author.
It was wonderful seeing this interview of my favorite author. It is hard for me to put into words the joy that her books have given me. My favorite book of her’s is Winter Solstice. I read or listen to it at least twice a year. Being a 79 year old widow and living alone, especially during the trying times all over the world, i find her books and movies have given me great comfort at this time of my life. I am so sorry she is no longer with us and the world will no longer have books by Rosamunde Pilcher. I hope that somehow her family might read my comment and realize what reading pleasure she has given me as well as her millions of fans. May she Rest In Peace.
I love her books and especially Winter Soltice. I read it again every year. The book makes you feel snuggly with a cup of tea.
I'm reading it now! Almost done. I love it too. The detail she puts in her books are fantastic.
@@barbarabuccola8121 In 2021, I'm reading it now! I was amazed at that grocery list and the amount of alcohol that was purchased!! I know they were going to have a party but it was a LOT!!
@@carolinewithers531 I know, right? Guess they had to keep warm. Lol. I finished September and am now on the Shell Seekers. Love her books. ♥️
My favorite Christmas novel.
Omg ! I just fineshed!!! I Love all her books and i was wondering if somebody apreciate her, as i do! I m soooo happy there more people who loves her !
No one writes as Rosamunde Pilcher. Simply the warmest, most articulate, sharpest mind at description and perspective of any writer. Mrs. Piilcher unlocks truths about being a mother, a daughter, husband, son, or any heart searching deeply, even desperately for a chance to give and receive love. I'm a wiser person, if I may say it, because when I read her novels, she gives be her wisdom. Never cliche, always fresh, yet familiar in tone of voice. When I finish one of her novels, I wander around the house, bereft for a time because her families have become mine, and curiously enough, I a part of hers somehow.
She responded to a letter I sent to her in the late 1990s by sending me a card with a picture of Cornwall she had taken herself. The message was lovely. It’s a very treasured possession. Lovely to see this interview.
I began reading Rosamunde Pilcher at the age of 62 and have read Coming Home, The Shell Seekers my 2 favorites and probably 10 more of her shorter stories. She really can take you into feeling her characters, she is an artist at understanding emotion. I could so relate to Penelope Keeling and her family. I am reading her early short stories tonight. In this insane time to be living with this Covid 19 and cities being destroyed amid rising Marxism it is nice to get away from it all for a little while with this talented ladies beautiful stories. She was a rare jewel and I am glad I found her work.
Just reread Coming Home, Shell Seekers and Winter Solstice for the umpteenth time. I never tire of her books. Wish the stories would go on and on. I always want more of her characters. ❤️
Thank you, thank you for posting this. I simply adore her and relished every minute of the interview. Rosamunde Pilcher's books have brought me countless hours of sheer contentment, and when life gets hard, there is nothing as comforting as getting swept away in one of her wonderful stories. I am heartbroken that she is gone. Quite a special lady.
I agree! Her books are such a comfort... dear old friends you enjoy visiting with over and over
I am so glad to actually see and hear her. I have read all her books.
My mother introduced me to Rosamund Pilcher's The Shell seekers when I was young. Loved her books light hearted easy reads they have become old friends. RIP lovely lady.
I love all her books. 🇧🇷
Thank you for posting this video of the great Rosamunde Pilcher her books have brought such joy and comfort to many readers .. may she rest in peace ❤️
She died shortly after this interview (February 6,2019)
Love, love her. Her books have helped me escape from some rough times in my life. Went to Dundee once and, oh how I wish I could have gone down the road, knocked on her door and said “ Could we have a cup of tea, and talk? “ I would have loved to talk to her about her work and life.
My favorite author. So nice to hear her voice.
I started reading as a very young girl. It became an important part of my life. I have read books of all kinds. The Classics, historical, science fiction, murder mysteries, autobiographical, you name it and when I read and reread and reread Rosamund Pilcher, I feel like I am coming home after a long journey. Like drinking a cool fresh glass of water on a hot, sweltering day. I adore her and her writing. I always hoped she would write one more book......
Just spoke to an old friend who highly recommended the works of Mrs. Pilcher. I am excited to discover her and look forward to reading her books.
What a delightful person. I did like her remarks about just getting on with it. My favourite isThe Shell Seekers.
Her books are so well written. Rich descriptions, warm. My favorite book is September, a great book. Am reading winter solstice, so far it's lovely. One of my favorite writers
What a lovely lady she was! I’m rereading The Shell Seekers for the umpteenth time. Wonderful book.
Just finished her beautiful novel "The shell seekers"
I re read her books time and again. For me it's stepping into time and place.
Rosamunde pilcher is the most talented writer i know, my favorite and only book from her is "coming home" which I've read countless times! It breaks my heart finding out about her passing, her soul shall live through each time we flip her novels and read them, she will not be forgotten.
Lléela, pero en Ingllés. No te vas a arrepentir. Gran escritora. Winter Solstice es excelente.
I have all of her books, enjoyed each and every one.
Thanks for giving us the chance of listening to these authors. I, Argentine, have never heard of her and I´m looking forward to read her.
I really enjoy her novels, especially The Shell Seekers! But the first one I read was Voices In Summer, which I found in an old 2nd hand bookshop. Really good story. I know most of her tales are romantic nonsense, and most of the characters are well heeled and live very charmed lives, but she mixes in Bohemian characters and lots of interesting and challenging situations. There's always tremendous attention to detail of her numerous characters and I also love the descriptions of Cornwall...I've never been there, but really want to visit! I'm addicted to Rosamund Pilcher novels, and hope to read ALL of them!!
Rosamunde Pilcher is the best.She write things of the life interested
What a wonderful lady n writer, absolutely loved the Shell seekers will always be one of my favourite books 🥰

THIS WOMAN HAS SO MUCH TALENT AND THOSE MOVIES ARE STUNNING. I VISITED CORNWALL FALMOUTH IN 1970 AND IT WAS BREATHTAKING...I NEVER WANTED TO LEAVE CORNWALL AND THOSE MOVIES BRING ME BACK TO THIS OUTSTANDING PLACE....THANK YOU, MRS. PILCHER R.I.P.

I discovered her books not that long ago...Pure joy and comfort! I love her detailed description of the nature and people's characters. I love listening to her books on audio as well because it emerges me in the world of different British dialects. Simply wonderful.
We love all history Rosamunde Pilcher wonderful ❤️
Her stories were at times a bit too "pat' for me but always colorful, charming and full of rich detail: a lovely soul was Rosamunde
Me encantan sus películas. 😍bendiciones...
I wish I could find the Shades of Love part 4 on UA-cam. I watched the first three parts but was left stranded unable to find part 4.
I found it, but in a different language. I watched it and could at least see how it ended.
LOVE her books, but this is a gawd-awful video ~ sound not synced AT ALL!
