The ancient East Anglian village of Old Swithinford had always seemed to be a haven against trouble. But since middle-aged widow Fran came back to live there three years ago there have been plenty of changes. Fran and William scandalize certain established villagers when they set up home together.
I read this book hoping that it would give me a glimpse into the workings and way of life of Anglian fen country in Britain.From the onset one is transported into the world of Fan and William Burbage and the close-knit community of Old Swithinford. A delightful mix of passions, scandals, friendship and village gossip envelops the people of East Anglia. A final surprise awaits both the community and the reader alike with the arrival of a newcomer. A sequel to a Nest of Magpies this book is a true gem...transporting one into a world now almost forgotten to us in the 21st centuary.
