Born in Lelant, between Hayle and St Ives in west Cornwall, Rosamunde was the second daughter of Helen (nee Harvey) and Charles Scott. Her father worked in Burma for the British Indian Civil Service and was abroad for most of her childhood. With her mother and sister, she lived at The Elms – “a beautiful spot overlooking the estuary and the Atlantic” and now, known as The Firs, a place of pilgrimage for her many German fans. She wrote: “It was my surroundings and my solitude that fired my imagination. I’d be forever making up stories.”

She went to St Clare’s school, Polwithen, Penzance and Howell’s school, Llandaff, Cardiff. In 1939 her father returned as the second world war broke out. A shorthand and typing course led to Rosamunde working with the Foreign Office at its wartime base at Woburn Park, Bedfordshire, and then the Women’s Royal Naval Service.https://www.theguardian.com/books/2019/feb/07/rosamunde-pilcher-obituary
