Round Ringford seems to be everything an idyllic English village should be: there are tennis matches, gossip in the local shop, the barn dance. Everything is comfortingly familiar. Yet behind this enchanted exterior there is a darker core of loneliness and deceit... Two new inhabitants lend excitement to the scene. Simon Standing is just back from America with plans to liven things up, but he soon finds he is no match for the young women in the village. Then there's George, who prefers the gentler pleasures of Ivy Beasley's famous cooking. But as the summer wears on, both Simon and George find themselves facing a dilemma. And someone, for sure, is going to get hurt. Wonderfully strong characters... a first-rate story of English village life, beautifully observed and very well described Publishing News

Their goal is to buy the local post office and shop and settle into a new way of life.But it is not going to be as easy as they imagine. They are the newcomers in a tight-knit village community. 
And the unhelpful and malicious Ivy Beasley is lurking behind her lace curtains - and waiting for any opportunity to spread gossip. It is not long before she thinks she finds it - in the shape of Peggy's burgeoning friendship with Bill Turner. 
Even so, Peggy throws herself into village life and is soon embroiled in the hopes, desires and disasters that beset Round Ringford - until, all too soon, she is faced with a tragedy of her own…
