“She just wanted to be back at Croy, and everything just the way it used to be. September. And parties, and the little shopping sprees to Relkirk, and people coming and going and the house full of guests.��

It is so hard for me to pick a favorite Rosamunde Pilcher novel. Every time I put one down I think, yes, this is it. This one’s my favorite. My reread of September has made me love this book even more than on my first read of it. I reread it in quick succession to The Shell Seekers which I think helped. Particularly as we get to see Noel Keeling out of the scope of his family.

And there are so many wonderful characters from Violet to Virginia to Archie to Edie. This book is such a lovely glimpse at Scottish village life and the complexities of the relationships therein. While the book takes us from May to September, reading it in September was perfect as we end it in that month where the seasons are just beginning to change and something new is on the horizon as I hope it is for all the beloved characters in this novel.
