"deeply satisfying story written with love", "about the connection between mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, parents and children, friends and lovers", "shifts effortlessly back and forth in time" (  ) blueclearsky | Dec 10, 2009 |  A favorite...read it a long time ago. Unforgettable characters that made you want to read Pilcher's other books..I also did read the sequel. A book to savor and never forget. ( ) meadowmist | Jul 1, 2009 | Although I liked the potential of the main character, and her special daughter... I couldn't get past the story line where the mother tough loves her children...roundly and extensively criticises them and is disappointed by them...yet the period in which they would be developing into these unlikeable and selfish people is not covered in the novel...and there is nothing to indicate she wonders...at all...what role she had in the people they became... so very pleased I read this as a library book rather than buying it (  )1  philippa58 | May 8, 2009 | Some how I read every other Pilcher book before reading The Shell Seekers (and September). I enjoyed it over all but given the fact that it is her most famous book - I expected more of it... in the end Coming Home is still my favorite of all her novels. I would have enjoyed it more if the chapter on Richard had been edited down. I found the parts that were set in the WWII time frame (flashbacks) dragged quite a bit and I was always very very eager to get back to the current time storyline. I thought it was a good diverting read - but not one of my favorites.
