“The Long Way Home is Robin Pilcher at his best. I devoured
every word of this masterful storyteller.”—Debbie Macomber,
#1 New York Times bestselling author In the vein of Maeve Binchy, Rosamunde Pilcher, and Nicholas
Sparks, New York Times bestselling author Robin Pilcher
returns with his most enchanting novel yet, filled with
captivating twists and turns of heart. When Claire Barclay receives news that her beloved
stepfather has had a stroke, she’s more than a little
shaken. Leo is her last real relative, and his own children
rarely check up on the old man. Claire and her husband, Art,
leave New York and fly back to Scotland to care for him
during the summer. Their visit makes clear that Leo is no
longer capable of living on his own, but he is determined to
stay in his beloved old house. Art comes up with the idea of
turning the place into a conference center, thinking they
could purchase the place from Leo and build him a cottage on
the property. But the situation is much more complicated than it seems.
Claire’s old flame, Jonas Fairwether, has become Leo’s
caretaker and trusted confidant. Though Claire distrusts
Jonas’s motives, Leo chooses to take his advice to put the
house up for public auction rather than sell directly to Art
and Claire. Claire is immediately suspicious, and even more
so when she finds out that another application has been
submitted to develop the property. Does Jonas Fairwether want to knock down the Leo’s house and
build a development? It looks like whoever is behind the
plan is being driven by financial gain, but there may be an
even stronger motive. The Long Way Home will keep readers on the edge of their
seats. This is a masterful novel from a master storyteller.
