Over to Candleford

Set in late 19th century Oxfordshire, the second book of the Lark Rise to Candleford trilogy follows an older Laura as she navigates the transition from rural life to the broader experiences of urban living. Her visits to her cousins in Candleford highlight the contrasts between their lifestyles and her own, capturing the essence of a changing world where traditional farming is giving way to mechanization. The narrative beautifully portrays the charm and challenges of rural existence during this transformative period.
