About this listen

The scene of this entertaining story is laid in a charming English village. The plot centres round Miss Barbara Buncle, a maiden lady who was obliged to write a book because – as she naively explained – her dividends were so poor. Unfortunately, Miss Buncle had no imagination, so she wrote about her friends – quite kindly and truthfully, of course, for she was a benevolent and veracious soul.

The reactions of her friends to Miss Buncle’s book, however, were a little surprising, and the far-reaching and unexpected results of its publication caused quite a stir.

So different

I loved this book so out of the box, I am looking forward to reading the next one.
I will try another of the authors books and hopefully will have found a new supply of books to read.

Slow start, but easy listening

A slow start nearly led me to abandon it, but the great narration convinced me to continue. The story is gentle and amusing, perfect if you want something non-taxing. The only real fault I have is the character of the Doctor is voiced as being Scottish despite the clear description of him having grown up in the village, taking over his father’s local medical practice.
