review 1: Took me a couple of chapters to realise how the book was structured, although that was because I hadn't bothered to read the blurb (I read it as an e-book). This is a charming collection of fictional stories about all the different characters within one community in rural England. Some of them are touching, and nothing is entirely straightforward. I have now bought Captain Corelli's Mandolin, and will read that soon (once I've finished the books I'm meant to be reading).
review 2: First a correction to an earlier review. This is not a collection of stories about a fictional village, but about a renamed real village, Hambledon in Surrey as five minutes research on the web will reveal. I found it a delightful read. There is humour - I couldn't stop giggling at th... moree first story, much to the irritation of my nearest and dearest lying in bed beside me. But there is also tragedy - the beautiful Mrs Rendell dead from cancer before she was 40. less
