Uplifting story of two women in an English village

Connie has moved back in with her mother who lives in a small village in Gloucestershire.  She is intent on avoiding the neighbours, although she has seen enough of them to give them all nicknames, and so enjoys early morning walks across the countryside and a swig of vodka or two.

Matilda lives next door to Connie’s mother, preferring her own company,  and that of her beloved animals, to venturing out into the community. 

Through a series of events these two, and others in the village, come together to fight for a common cause. 

This is a charming story delving into the lives of two people (and others) whose backgrounds and life stories are quite different to what others might imagine.  This is about a village coming together for good, and in so doing the reader meets two people who might at first seem very different, but underneath the exterior they choose to portray, they have many similarities. 

Wonderful characters, great story and a feel-good read – though with ups and downs getting there.  Just perfect when you want to escape into a good book, and meet interesting, true to life characters.
