Ein wenig in Richtung Jane Austen, interessantes und witziges Gesellschaftsporträt des Englands des 19. Jahrhunderts

A charming slice-of-life novel full of amusing anecdotes but also sad undertones. There are contunious arcs and the book doesn't feel episodic, but there isn't really a plot either. It's a peak into the life of some spinsters and how their quirks and their dominance of this village shape it. The ladies are both likable and believable and I enjoyed my time with them.
