Pleasant enough easy listening, I certainly recommend you try her novels if you are a fan of British romantic fiction authors. A bit of a cliché but then it is as she finds happiness beyond her dreams. In taking her twin sisters place Flora’s life is changed for ever. They both lead very different lifestyles and for reasons that will be revealed to those that read or listen to this book, Rose persuades Flora to stand in for her to help her escape a man she no longer has romantic feelings for. The chances of this happening are so very remote that this did annoy me a little, but then this is a novel. It is the story of identical twins Rose and Flora who are unaware of each others existence until they meet quite by chance in a London restaurant. This abridged version of Under Gemini was very easy listening, over two ironing sessions, nothing spectacular but I enjoyed listening to this tale of love, betrayal and deception. My favourite of her books which was originally published in 1987 is ‘The Shell Seekers’ which was on the long list for The Best Love Story of the Last Fifty Years 1960 - 2010 Rosamunde Pilcher is an author whose books I happen to have read no less than 7 of between 19 and just one since we left the UK in 2004. I have started off with Under Gemini by Rosamunde Pilcher which was released in 1992 and I have no idea how or why I came to have it on tape. I normally listen to the radio or music on my i pod while I am ironing so time for an occasional change of routine. They do have one advantage though over books on CD’s in that it is easier to find your place if you do not listen in one sitting.

It is time that most of them were moved on as tapes are rather out dated, although I might keep the classics.

I recently discovered a collection of approximately twenty audio books that we have moved from house to house for years.
