Description
Wild Mountain Thyme by Rosamunde Pilcher tells the story of Victoria Bradshaw, who fell in love with London playwright Oliver Dobbs when she was just eighteen. However, he left her and disappeared from her life.
Now, years later, Oliver returns as a widower, standing on her doorstep with his two-year-old son in his arms. Despite the past, Victoria is foolish enough to want to take him back. Their early spring journey to a castle in Scotland becomes an odyssey of emotional discovery.
Can they rekindle their love amidst the tranquil beauty of the countryside, or will Oliver's career dictate another course?
