Winter Solstice by Rosamunde Pilcher brings together five very different people whose lives unexpectedly intertwine in the Scottish Highlands.
Elfrida, a retired actress seeking peace after loss, befriends Oscar, a widowed musician whose life has been upended by tragedy. Carrie returns home after a failed romance, tasked with caring for her teenage niece Lucy over Christmas. Meanwhile, Sam, recently divorced, is searching for a fresh start and finds solace in the rugged beauty of northern Scotland.
Drawn together by chance and circumstance, the five find warmth, friendship, and renewal in a large country house near Creagan during the darkest days of winter. A heartwarming story of love, loss, and new beginnings, Winter Solstice celebrates the power of connection and the promise of light after darkness.
