Talk Of The Village

Trade Paperback

The village is bedevilled by talk and all is not as it seems in the village of Turnham Malpas ...

Does pushy newcomer Venetia have her eye on Peter, the handsome rector Is Jeremy, her husband, really making a success of the new health club And why does Willie's new love set a vicious tongue wagging In the Royal Oak, the usual banter has turned to bitter wrangling as the rector's wife Caroline makes a challenge over an ancient country tradition and splits the village her husband had so recently united.

As the people of the village use the power of words to reconcile or divide, Peter finds it is what isn't talked about that threatens to cause madness, confusion and tragedy.
