Sharp Through the Hawthorn by Sybil Marshall
From the outset, one is transported into the world of William Burbage and Fran and the close-knit community of Old Swithinford, the ancient East Anglian village that had always seemed to be a haven against trouble. Since middle-aged widow, Fran, came back to live there three years ago, there have been plenty of changes, and she scandalizes the village by setting up home with William. A delightful mix of passions, scandals, friendship and village gossiP envelops the people of East Anglia. A final surprise awaits both the community and the reader alike with the arrival of a newcomer.
