Books like Voices in Summer by Rosamunde Pilcher
Laura Haveerstock, a newly married young woman, arrives at her husband’s Cornwall estate, Tremenheere, expecting the beauty of the summer landscape to delight her. Instead, the bright sunshine, sparkling sea, and garden colors feel overwhelming, and with her husband away, Laura feels vulnerable and isolated. The people of Tremenheere, however, have a gentle, reassuring presence that helps her to address her own fears, learn more about her husband, and explore the mysterious ways of the human heart. As the August wind lifts and the distant sounds of voices echo, Laura begins to understand the true meaning of home and love.
