Notwithstanding
Notwithstanding | Louis de Bernieres
2 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
Welcome to the village of Notwithstanding, where a lady dresses in plus fours and shoots squirrels, a retired general gives up wearing clothes altogether, a spiritualist lives in a cottage with the ghost of her husband, and people think it quite natural to confide in a spider that lives in a potting shed. Based on de Bernières' recollections of the village he grew up in, Notwithstanding is a funny and moving depiction of a charming vanished England.

Charming account of country life 😂 Of course, because it's Bernières, I carried on reading. Light read!
