Elfrida Phipps, sessantenne ex attrice di musical, in seguito all'improvvisa perdita del grande amore della sua vita, un uomo a cui era unita da un legame forte e sincero, lascia Londra e si trasferisce in un villaggio dello Hampshire in compagnia del fedele cane Horace. Dolce ed eccentrica, fatica però a inserirsi nella piccola comunità locale, finché non incontra Oscar Blundell, musicista ora in pensione, sua moglie Gloria e la loro figlia adolescente Francesca, con i quali instaura un rapporto di intensa e profonda intimità. Di lì a poco Gloria e Francesca muoiono in un incidente stradale, e Oscar, rimasto solo e assillato da seri problemi economici, cade nella disperazione. Uniti dalle avversità e animaati dal desiderio di lasciarsi alle spalle il passato, Oscar ed Elfrida si trasferiscono in Scozia per ricucire le fila delle loro esistenze. Sarà l'atmosfera del primo Natale insieme, trascorso in compagnia della cugina Carrie, della sua giovane nipote Lucy e di Sam, uno sconosciuto con cui intrecciano una nuova amicizia, a ridare a entrambi la voglia di voltare pagina e di riassaporare la gioia dei sentimenti. Rosamunde Pilcher ancora una volta tratteggia un universo popolato di personaggi straordinari e indimenticabili, che ha per sfondo i magici paesaggi della Scozia. 'Solstizio d'inverno' è un romanzo ricco di intense passioni e di emozioni delicate, sulla forza degli affetti e dei valori familiari, in cui l'amore riesce a vincere ogni ostacolo e le occasioni di felicità aspettano solo di essere colte.
