Sleeping Tiger

I recently came upon eight Pilcher novels - older ones - that I had not known existed. Was I overjoyed? Absolutely! I left the bookstore having bought all eight and couldn't wait to crack one open that evening. I began with Sleeping Tiger and felt Selena's pain at not knowing who her father was. Her daring pursuit in search of the man she believed "could" be her father took me along with her almost as her protectress. Was the man she found a disappointment? He was to me. Not until the very end did he attempt to "make something of himself" and I'm sure in no small part because of Selena. I was VERY relieved when ol' Rodney took a hike out of Selena's life. I won't spoil the ending for anyone that's planning to read Sleeping Tiger but I think it went according design. In my opinion, anything Ms. Pilcher turns out is GREAT.!

I enjoyed getting to know Selina & George. I did not want the book to end!

This was actually one of my favorite Rosamunde Pilcher books. I certainly agree that it's not quite on a par with The Shell Seekers, which is one of my favorite novels of all time. This novel does lack some flow, but has some great, funny scenes. My favorite is the one when George walks in and finds Selina in his house and the conversation that ensues before she tells him she thinks he may be her father. If you're a Rosamunde Pilcher fan, (and even if you haven't "met" her yet) this is worth reading.
