But somehow the Christmas season weaves its magical spell and for Elfrida and Oscar, in the evening of their lives, the winter solstice brings love and solace. I love it for its warmth and sensitivity, but most of all for. Winter Solstice is one of my favorites among Pilcher’s later novels, and one I often re-read at this time of year. Winter Solstice is a novel of love, loyalty and rebirth. Oscar and Elfrida take refuge in a rambling house in Scotland which becomes a magnet for various waifs and strays who converge upon it, including an unhappy teenage girl. Rosamunde Pilcher's long-awaited return to the page will warm the hearts of readers both old and new. But an unforeseen tragedy upsets Elfrida's tranquillity: Oscar's wife and daughter are killed in a terrible car crash and he finds himself homeless when his stepchildren claim their dead mother's inheritance. She has a tiny cottage, her faithful dog Horace and the friendship of the neighbouring Blundells - particularly Oscar - to ensure that her days include companionship as well as independence.
