Winter Solstice (2003)

Book is wonderful, NOT, unfortunately, the movie

I love Rosamunde Pilcher and especially Winter Solstice, one of my favorites! I usually re-read this book in the winter, every couple of years. This movie did not reflect the characters in the least. I didn't recognize any of them other than the Scottish Rector and his son. The story was modified to the extent that it did not reflect the depth of what the characters in the book experienced at all.... several modernization efforts took away from the story. I ended up having no attachment to any of these people. Terrible script. So disappointing. I agree with some of the other reviews entirely.... read the book and avoid this movie!
