![]() There are authors of course whose work is an exception to this and they still produce long novels, but generally, books have gotten shorter.Īnyway, there was more to my love of Coming Home than its number of pages. ![]() You really don’t often get books like this anymore, which is a shame, but publishers tend to prescribe a standard 400 pages to a long novel nowadays, as opposed to the 800 to 1000 we used to be able to lose ourselves in. A great big brick of a book, more than 900 pages, it’s a stunning story, a real sweep you off your feet and take you to another time and place sort of story. I loved The Shell Seekers, and in a moment of serendipity that seems to happen so often to me when it comes to books, pretty much as soon as I finished The Shell Seekers and decided to look for more books by Rosamund Pilcher, I found Coming Home in a discount bin at Big W. The book was The Shell Seekers and the author was Rosamund Pilcher. A very dear friend of mine once lent me a book by an author she loved, whom I had never read, or even heard of. ![]()
