Book description
>But as she began to observe her friends and neighbours in the
village of Tollymead (not quite the idyllic community that everyone
wished it was) she noticed that there were different kinds of creations.
Evelyn Brooke, her eccentric and idealistic neighbour, chained herself
to condemned oak trees and fought against polluters of the countryside.
The vicar, resenting his congregation of middle-class - apparently -
well adjusted parishioners, sought longingly for a real social problem
to deal with. Even Nancy Sanderson, magistrate and secretary of the
Women's League, was eventually to revolt against her life style and
create something of her own.
As Liberty stoically continued her progress through harvest lunches and
creative writing classes, she waited for a rival creation of her own to
emerge, and when Oscar Brooke moved into the village, she thought
perhaps she might have found it.
> Undoubtedly one of the funniest novels you'll read this summer
