Bramton Wick by Elizabeth Fair

Bramton Wick
Elizabeth Fair
4/5 stars

This novel follows the inhabitants of Bramton Wick over the course of a few months, as they go about daily business interacting with each other in various ways.  It is witty and snarky, yet gentle at the same time.  Fair is able to make most of her characters three-dimensional, despite the number.  The vignettes tie together and give an interesting and amusing picture of village life in post-war England.

I would especially recommend Fair to fans of Angela Thirkell.
