About the Book

The New York Times bestselling author of An Ocean Apart pens a poignant and moving story about a Londoner who leaves the world of high finance following the collapse of his marriage for a new start in a winter-bound Scottish village. Martin's Press.

About the Author :
Robin Pilcher has spent too long behind the scenes. Pilcher has worked as a farmer, assistant film cameraman, and PR consultant, and is the child of bestselling novelist Rosamunde Pilcher. "An Ocean Apart "and "Starting Over," Robin Pilcher's first two novels, were "New York Times" bestsellers and favorites among Pilcher fans, old and new.

Review :
"Pilcher writes with every bit as much insight and meticulous detail as his mother, celebrated novelist Rosamunde Pilcher." -Library Journal "Fans of acclaimed novelist Rosamunde Pilcher will queue up to read A Risk Worth Taking, a new novel by her talented son Robin. Robin Pilcher not only writes with his mother's style and fluency, but also writes about the same type of ordinary people...engrossing...more than one reader will relate to it with painful clarity...Robin Pilcher, like his mother, obviously loves people and has a knack for conveying that...a poignant and thought-provoking book that makes one want to cheer for the Dan Porters in this world. This is a perfect novel for a wintry day."-Roanoke Times "This is an engaging character study of a person who once was riding the crest, but since has lost his self esteem...the cast is a delightful ensemble...Robin Pilcher provides a deep look at what really counts as Dan reassesses his values and how he has lived."-The Midwest Book Review "A short novel that is one evening's reading delight...Robin Pilcher is good with the details of people's lives and his skill at dialogue makes for fast reading."-The Charlotte Observer "Pilcher offers a charming story about life in the new millennium and one man's pursuit of happiness, a tale that will appeal to both men and women."-Booklist "Pilcher crafts another engaging, happy-ending tale in the tradition of his mother, beloved British novelist Rosamunde Pilcher...[Readers] will care about Dan, tough, and his children and friends, and will approve Dan's belief that risks are worth taking, and that life can be a great game."-Publishers Weekly
