I was drawn to this book by the extract from the first chapter printed at the end of Miss Garnet's Angel. The lively characters living in a small village in the present day are depicted with great clarity and understanding and the story describes the effect on their lives of a visitor from a very different background. The eventual realisation of what this was came as a complete surprise! At least it did to me.
