Résumé
It is a year since Ivy Beasley, an ageing spinster with a waspish tongue and an all-seeing eye, watched with deep suspicion as her new neighbours, the Palmers, moved into Round Ringford Post Office. Peggy Palmer's warm friendship with unhappily… married Bill Turner continues to infuriate Ivy, until her attention is disastrously caught by the arrival of the new vicar and his wife Sophie. As the farming year progresses, and the Harvest Supper and the Christmas concert are followed by a funeral and a wedding, Ivy weaves her web with cunning not realising that she too is caught in its sticky threads. 2005, c1995.
