any books about village life?

[lemisscared]

any recommendations? have read some rebecca shaw but actually they are pretty poorly written. happy to pick up in charity shops but full price on kindle? no thanks

i like the idea of books about naice villages. nothing sad though.

not that im fussy or anything

Penelope Lively. Can't remember which ones!

Came to say Trisha Ashley; they are somewhat trashy, but it's time she wrote another one .

The mapp and Lucia series by EF benson (recent series on iplayer still) is brilliant, it's supposed to be set in Rye so not quite a village but similar feel.

There's The Village by Mrghanita Laski set at the end of WWII. It's a bit like reading a black and white afternoon film if you see what I mean.

The radio 4 Agatha Raisin plays are excellent, with Penelope Keith as Agatha.
