Más información sobre el libro

This book centers on an emerging mystery within a small community, narrated in the present tense for immediacy and impact. Set in Little Meddlyn, a quaint rural village, it captures a traditional atmosphere where rural crafts and customs endure. The village, lining the north bank of an idyllic English trout river, features charming houses along The Row, where David, the narrator, skillfully fishes and observes life as rowboats glide by. A 'For Sale' sign appears at 'The Beeches,' the main mansion, but the owners insist it’s a hoax, only to replace it, creating confusion and inviting inquiries that lead the community into a web of change. As David unravels the mystery behind the sign, he confronts George Camberwell, the Duke of Stoarvale, whose actions disturb the village's tranquility. This confrontation prompts David to reflect on his upbringing and the influence of his father and the village Church. Themes of family values, community identity, and the social dynamics of England in 2001 emerge, appealing to both church members and a broader audience. The narrative weaves together gripping encounters and rich literary descriptions, inviting readers to savor the human experience and the essence of rural life, ultimately suggesting that "This book will help the reader fall in love with life all over again."
