This is an excellent book first published in the uk under the title Jorwerd in 2000.I assumed when i ordered it that this was a sequel to that book.Wrong!it was simply the same book with a new title.I had imagined that this might be the case but after a careful search i found nothing to support this theory.This sort of thing happens a lot, i know,particularly with music and it is, to say the least, very annoying.That said if you are thinking of buying it it is a very enjoyable book and well worth reading.Although it is about a village in The Netherlands it could be about any small community in Europe.Highly recommended.
