Items related to An Ocean Apart
For six dreadful months, David Corstorphine has tried to come to terms with his young wife's death, while caring for his three motherless children. Try as he may, David is unable to return to work, and his only form of solace comes from working in the garden of his parents' estate in the Scottish countryside.
Dispatched unexpectedly to New York, David's family hopes that the impromptu business trip will help him get back on his feet. But the journey proves both disastrous and heartening. David finds himself settling in comfortably among the strangers of a seaside Long Island town, and takes a job as a gardener. But it is the people he meets, the pain he confronts, and the joy he is able to once again experience that prove to be magically transformative-- and as David learns to accept his enormous loss, he is able to open his heart to love once again.

About the Author:
In Robin Pilcher, readers will discover both a fresh new voice in fiction and the delightful echoes of his talented, bestselling mother Rosamunde Pilcher. They will rejoice as they read a "genuine" Pilcher novel-- one which both departs from his mother's work, and adheres to the wonderful family tradition of gifted storytelling...
From AudioFile:
Samantha Eggar skillfully meets the challenges presented by rich characterizations and a well-written story of a young Scotsman who assuages his grief at the loss of his wife by working as a handyman on a U.S. estate. Eggar brings to life a full cast of Scottish and American characters as diverse as the housekeeper, Effie, and a team of time-starved Madison Avenue executives. Eggar's vocal characterizations, range of Highland accents, and dialect portray each nuance of the characters' personalities with compassion and subtlety. Her lively and spontaneous plot narration complements the characterizations to create engaging audio theater. R.M. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine
