But the events of this short passionate summer are a match for anything it has witnessed before.Rebecca Shaw brings the warmth, humour and drama that enliven all these village books in this, the thirteenth of her bestselling Turnham Malpas series.

A lovely book - I have read all her books in order and feel quite sad to have finished the last one. I feel I really know the characters - like old friends. I would advise people to start at Book one - the new rector - as the story continues.
