Product Description
Book Description
A delightful novel of jealousy, love, new beginnings - and amateur dramatics.
Product Description
Petra came into the close village community of Mindon when she was unexpectedly left a cottage there by an old friend of her mother's. She was lonely and unsettled - her parents had been killed in a car accident, her boyfriend had decided to go back to his wife, and as a painter she led a solitary life in her North Yorkshire home town. But she felt immediately at home in the gracious stone house that had been bequeathed to her, and was made welcome by the local residents - in particular, by the members of the Mindon Amateur Dramatic Society (somewhat appropriately known as MADS) presided over by the formidable Ursula. Ursula liked to run things her way, and brooked no opposition when the ambitious decision was made (largely by herself) to put on A Midsummer Night's Dream as their next production. Petra , to her surprise and pleasure, was put in charge of the wardrobe.
Rivalries, squabbles, love affairs and seething resentments threatened to scupper the production, and all Ursula's managerial skills were needed to prevent disaster. But Petra had more pressing things on her mind than the costumes for the cast. A mystery from her past began to haunt her - and the answer to that mystery might solve the puzzle of why she had been left such a beautiful house by a total stranger.

I have just read 'Midsum,mer Meeting' by Elvi Rhodes. This is her 14th book, every one of which I have read and enjoyed.
This too is a really good read, and, as usual, the characters are well-rounded, the research is well done, there is joy and sadness, laughter and tears, and the plot moves at a good pace to a rather surprising denouement in the last chapters - altogether a book worth buying, and at such a bargain price too!

I enjoy the style of Elvi Rhodes anyway and have eagerley awaited this her latest book. I was not to be disappointed. She develops the main character, Petra, brilliantly and gradually unravels the story of her past. This all takes place whilst she tells the story of Petras present life too. She also develops other characters wonderfully so that you are keen to know how their lives progress too.
