Description
The eccentric Mr Monsoon and his family are a delightfully quirky bunch. Living in comfortable squalor with their two sons and two daughters-in-law, they bring a touch of unpredictability to the village. At the heart of this charming community is Amy, who struggles to find her place as a wife and mother. Amy's story is intertwined with that of the other villagers, each with their own unique personality and quirks. There's Mrs Tyce, a widow with a long life of boredom behind her, and Mrs Rockaby, who hopes to one day return to her bustling London life. The Monsoons' gardener has a penchant for telling tales of the Devil, while Mr Swan sets out to marry Amy as if it were a task on his to-do list. Celia Buckmaster's sharp wit and incomparable characters make this novel a worthwhile read for anyone looking for a unique and engaging story.
