It's not a memoir and not a novel but a series of recollections and stories of both the hamlet of Lark Rise and the small towns of Candleford and Candleford Green with some small through lines of the life of Laura Timmins but that doesn't really do it justice. It's about a time and place that was already changing rapidly and was completely gone by the time Thompson wrote her stories but she creates it so vividly. I read it after a re-watch of the TV series and it was fun to see the sentences or phrases that were teased into narratives but it is probably best to think of them as completely different things. I dipped into this over a few months and I always enjoyed it. What a lovely story. Through the trials of 2020, this book, along with the BBC TV adaption of it, simultaneously let my mind escape to another time and place and kept me grounded. I've never read anything like it- a sturdy but delicately carved social history of rural England in the final decades of the nineteenth century with a lacquer of fiction applied to it. One reason I picked it up was to learn about the world in which master craftsman Thomas Hardy fashioned Tess and Jude. I would recommend it equally to readers of history and historical fiction. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

The story of three closely-related Oxfordshire communities -- a hamlet, a village, and a town -- and the memorable cast of characters who people them. Based on Thompson's own experiences as a child and young woman, it is keenly observed and beautifully narrated, quiet and evocative. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
