read celia buckmaster's other novel (FAMILY TIES) & now there are none left
it is neither as savage nor as sympathetic to anyone as VILLAGE STORY but it has its own moments
a terrible thing happens to the cat in this one but the cat lives. I repeat: the cat lives

Celia Buckmaster really knew how to write an argument. none of this “how hateful if you to make fun of cows” in so-called ‘modern’ literature. a benighted age

I am always looking after other people's feelings in this way. but who ever reciprocates!

Bought this delightful little book & think I might try & do some of the road trips - see what pubs & hostelries still exist along routes (fully prepared for it to be a heartbreaking experience). As I hoped, it also mentions & pictures quite a few 1930s roadhouses.
