I have just watched "Shades of Love" shown on Channel 5. Having already read and seen the film "September" I was absolutely fascinated by this film. Rosmunde Pilcher has excelled herself in a superb follow up. Bringing all the characters up to the modern times. The plot was greatly entwined with September. I would certainly watch this again. Is there a book as I cannot seem to find one?
