Adaptations of her novels were mainly filmed in Cornwall and Devon. Rosamunde Pilcher’s ‘The Shell Seekers’Įven though almost a century has passed since a little girl called Rosamunde spent her formative years here, it’s still possible to see Cornwall through her eyes. Many of Pilcher’s novels can be bought at St Ives Bookseller on Fore Street. They are infused with nostalgia for a way of life which has largely been lost, as Pilcher drew on her childhood experiences of growing up on the coast. Stories such as The Shell Seekers, Coming Home and Summer Awakening powerfully evoke the beauty of the Cornish landscape. Admirers will be pleased to know that many of our St Ives and Carbis Bay cottages and apartments are perfectly located for a visit to ‘Rosamunde Pilcher’s Cornwall.’ Although she moved away to study and work and later lived with her husband in Scotland, her writing is wholeheartedly inspired by Cornwall. Novelist Rosamunde Pilcher was born in Lelant, two miles from St Ives, in 1924.
