Format:Paperback
I haven't read the original Akenfield that this book is based on but I definitely will now. I really enjoyed this book's insights into rural English life, and how thing have changed between the original book and this re-visiting. Its descriptions of country living, recounted through the eyes of those who live there - be it the publican, the farmer, the new urban escapees, or those who have never left - are beautifully told and refreshingly unsentimental - and really made me think about the challenges and realities of a rural society.

Format:Paperback
An excellent insight into life in an East Anglian village - a type of life which is fast disappearing. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in rural england and together with the earlier "Akenfield" comprise a mini masterpiece. Excellently written and completely absorbimg
