Product Description

Review

'running throughout the book is a genuine anger that this is a meritorious way of life we are too eager to dismiss.' --The Independent on Sunday

Book Description

A fascinating account of the life and charming inhabitants of a typical countryside village, and how it must adapt and change in order to survive in the modern world.

Misleading titling 7 Jun 2011
Format:Paperback
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.
