    About this ebook

    Whenever Selina asked about her late father, the grandmother who raised her changed the subject. The chance discovery of a photograph gave Selina hope that he was still alive and sent her searching for him on a small Spanish island. In this lush paradise, Selina found George Dyer, a writer who would help her solve the mystery of her past...and might hold the key to her future.

    When you read a novel like Sleeping Tiger by Rosamunde Pilcher you enter a special world where emotions sing from the heart. A world that lovingly captures the ties that bind us to one another-the joys and sorrows, heartbreaks and misunderstandings, and glad, perfect moments when we are in true harmony. A world filled with evocative, engrossing, and above all, enjoyable portraits of people's lives and loves, tenderly laid open for us...

      good beach read

      When I first read Rosamunde Pilcher as a teenager I preferred her shorter works to her longer sagas. This was one of my favorites. I still enjoy it as a comfort read, but I suspect would not have found it very memorable had I first read it when I was older.

      As a child, whenever Selina Bruce would ask about her late father, the grandmother who raised her would always quickly change the subject. Then, the chance discovery of a photograph gave Selina hope that her father was still alive. It also turned her world on its axis. For the first time in her life, Selina didn't know what tomorrow would bring.She leaves her lawyer fiance behind in London and impulsively flies alone to San Antonio - a tiny island off the coast of Spain - brimming with the hope that she will finally meet the father she's never known. What she discovered instead was an unexpected truth about herself and the man she planned to marry. For exotic San Antonio offered Selina more than a lush paradise and glorious days spent under the penetrating brilliance of the noonday sun. It offered her the mysterious George Dyer, a writer who would help her solve the mystery of her past...and who might just hold the key to her future happiness.I really enjoyed reading this book. The story was gentle and sweet, and not too earth-shatteringly serious. In my opinion, Rosamunde Pilcher has always been a good story-teller; and the plots of her stories have always interested me. I must say though, that this book seemed slightly different from most of Ms. Pilcher's other works - somehow lighter and frothier than I was expecting. I give Sleeping Tiger by Rosamunde Pilcher an A+!
    • 4/5
      A young woman, longing for the father she never knew, and in a relationship which holds no joy for her, wings off to an island near Spain hoping to reunite with her long lost dad.This is as sweet a romance as ever was without being cloying or cringe-worthy. A lovely novella, simple and refreshing and fun. I thought I hated romances, but Rosamunde Pilcher has a way with a story. It is more about the characters than the romance. The only thing I didn't want to look too closely at in this story was the slight Oedipus theme.
    • 3/5
      A nice story but I prefer Ms Pilcher's longer sagas.
