Description
Notwithstanding is a humorous and poignant portrayal of a charming, vanished England. Based on the author's recollections of his childhood village, this book is a heartwarming and humorous depiction of a community where the ordinary and the eccentric coexist.
Meet the residents of Notwithstanding, a village where a lady dresses in plus fours and shoots squirrels, a retired general has given up wearing clothes altogether, and a spiritualist lives in a cottage with the ghost of her husband. It's a place where people think it's perfectly natural to confide in a spider that lives in a potting shed.
This book is a funny and moving exploration of the human spirit, where the lines between reality and fantasy are blurred. With its unique blend of humor and pathos, Notwithstanding is a worthwhile read for anyone looking for a charming and thought-provoking read.
