Brensham Village: John Moore

Book II of The Brensham Trilogy.  Here is an England which now seems almost foreign in its remoteness. As seen through unerringly accurate eyes, it's a mixture of action and character, conveying the life of a country community in the halcyon period between the wars. Sentimental, but not so as to undermine the picture of a time when a life of landed gentry, squalid poverty and routine village intimacy co-existed within a familiar seasonal routine.
