Notwithstanding by Louis De Bernieres
As the world around it marches forward, the bucolic English village of Notwithstanding remains unchanged. It is, as it always has been, a place of pubs and cricket pitches, where local eccentrics--a retired colonel who has eschewed clothes, a spiritualist living with the ghost of her husband, and a dog named Archibald Scott-Moncrieff--almost fit in. In this delightfully evocative collection of stories, in which a young couple falls in and out of love by letter alone, an eleven-year-old boy battles a monstrous fish, and a man of the cloth has a premonition of death, Louis de Berni res conjures up a rural idyll long since forgotten. Funny, bittersweet, and deeply felt, Notwithstanding is the bestselling author of Corelli's Mandolin at his most enchanting.The Battle of Don Emmanuel's Nether Parts (Commonwealth Writers Award, Best First Book Eurasia Region, 1991), Senor Vivo and the Coca Lord (Commonwealth Writers Prize, Best Book Eurasia Region, 1992), and Cardinal Guzman's Troublesome Offspring (Commonwealth Writers Prize, Best Book Eurasia Region, 1992) are among Louis de Bernieres' works. The London-based author was named one of the twenty Best of Young British Novelists in 1993.
