Louis de Bernières draws on the atmosphere of an English village to bring together encounters that are funny, affectionate and sometimes quietly sad. Individual lives overlap through neighbours, local habits, animals and the passage of time, building a portrait larger than any single character. Beneath the humour lies an awareness of change and of the things that disappear when a place loses its familiar ways. This collection celebrates the richness of apparently uneventful lives, finding surprising drama and tenderness in the small world of a village and its inhabitants.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Value Junction ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67647251644628,"sku":"TVJ-033662","price":9.2,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/3059\/2980\/files\/TVJ-033662-1.jpg?v=1791322211","url":"https:\/\/thevaluejunction.co.nz\/products\/tvj-033662","provider":"The Value Junction ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
