Description
A village is never short of opinion, and Katherine Charter-Plackett is no exception. When she moves in with her son, her high-handed ways cause quite a stir. Before long, she's organising the harvest festival display and spreading rumours about her neighbours' lives. But Katherine's actions go too far when she tries to rid the village of those she considers to be most at fault. It's only Peter, the rector, who can calm her down and bring some much-needed balance to the village. As Katherine navigates her new life, she begins to see the village in a different light. The villagers' kindness and warmth slowly wear her down, and she starts to mellow. But will she be able to resist the temptation to stir up trouble again? A witty and engaging novel about the power of community and the dangers of meddling, Scandal in the Village is a charming read for fans of modern fiction.
