September is a novel byRosamunde Pilcher.September was published in 1990, three years afterThe Shell Seekers.[1] Although oneShell Seekers character, Noel Keeling, is a significant figure, a new cast is introduced.
Violet Aird is the centre of the novel, the matriarch of the Aird clan, and long-time family friend of Lord Balmerino a.k.a. Archie Blair. The characters of the book all have a problem to overcome, such as jealousy, envy, or greed. Violet watches over them all, but knows she can only watch.Lottie Carstairs, released from the local psychiatric hospital drives Violet's friend (and employee) Edie to distraction - along with everyone else, disagreement over their son's schooling drives parents Edmund and Virginia Aird ever further apart, the Balmerinos are deeply troubled by debt, and into all this, the bewitching and beautiful Pandora Blair, who ran away from home twenty years before, adds her own brand of chaos.
September was made into a mini-series film in 1996, and starredEdward Fox,Michael York,Mariel Hemingway, andJacqueline Bisset, Jenny Agutter (as Isobel Balmerino), Judy Parfitt (as Verena Steynton).
September was also released as an audio book, and, likeThe Shell Seekers andComing Home, it was read byLynn Redgrave.
