Delderfield never disappoints anyone who loves stories of the English countryside and its people. This is volume one of three, and they are all absorbing and worth reading. Very briefly, it is the life story of a young Englishman wounded in the Boer War who returns to England looking for somewhere to settle. The resulting story of the lovely valley and estate he finds and the characters on that estate is sometimes funny, occasionally sad and always a compelling story of life in the early1900's. This is not a book for those who prefer fast paced writing; but, for those who enjoy a well-told, in-depth chronicle of one person's life it will not disappoint. (amazon customer)
