The annual Edinburgh International Festival, which celebrates film, music, and comedy, brings thousands to the beloved Scottish town each summer. This year, the festival draws six unique and vibrant individuals, who all come together to follow their dreams—seeking success, love, fame, or simply happiness. Each of these incredibly well-crafted and intriguing characters is trying to discover their destiny, and during this one magnificent summer, paths cross and lives are forever changed. Inspiring, funny, warm, and full of vivid descriptions of the sights and sounds of Edinburgh, Starburst is another Pilcher winner.

Critic reviews

<p>“Robin Pilcher creates a story of love, compassion and understanding that rivals his mother's (Rosamunde) works” —<i>AudioFile on An Ocean Apart</i><br><br>“Pilcher offers a charming story about life in the new millennium and one man's pursuit of happiness, a tale that will appeal to both men and women.” —<i>Booklist on A Risk Worth Taking</i><br><br>“Pilcher writes with an excellent sense of the pace of his story. It's easy to feel you know these people and to grasp the complexities of their relationships...a worthy novel.” —<i>Houston Chronicle on Starting Over</i></p>

Lovely gentle story of lives interwoven in the context of the famous international festival of Edinburgh Scotland. John Lee is, as always, exceptional at bringing this mixed cast of characters to life. Great writing, great reading, great listening! Thank you.

I thought about giving up on this book early on, but I'm so glad i stuck with it. Pretty soon it all came together. Many different stories and wonderful characters. I was very sad when it ended. The narration is out of this world. John Lee is outstanding! I love the other titles I've listened to by Robin Pilcher, and now this one too.

So glad I stuck with it

Robin Pilcher has written his best novel since An Ocean Apart. It is always fun to travel to where Mr. Pilcher wants to carry us and the where he takes us along the way provides all the fun. Well written and adept at bringing the six uniquely different individuals together at the Festival.

Another Winner

It is hard not to like a book with Edinburgh as the background setting. AND, the mention of August,the month of festivals, theaters, plays, etc. brought special memories. The characters were well developed and fun to read about. I really liked the book and enjoyed seeing how the author brought the title into the lives of the characters.
