En un lugar imaginario ubicado al parecer no muy lejos de las ciudades de Cáceres, Ávila o Salamanca, una joven y atractiva mujer está enamorada de un hombre maduro y divorciado cuya mayor aspiración en la vida es vivir tranquilo entre sus convecinos.La relacion que surge entre ambos complica bastante el ambiente pacifico al que el protagonista aspira, no sin el concurso de distintas intervenciones de los habitantes del pueblo, que de uno u otro modo vienen a colaborar para que el clima se enrarezca y complique de mil maneras diferentes las mas veces.Abundan las descripciones paisajisticas sobre un lugar verdaderamente hermoso y el estudio de los distintos personajes que se entremezclan en la trama, que crea con cierta habilidad que el lector asuma con facilidad el conocimiento de los distintos temperamentos y caracteres de quienes aparecen en escena.

Many people as they get older have to face leaving a village or town they have loved, a place redolent with memories and connections, to relocate somewhere more as they say manageable. It is different for everyone, and not always easy, for our ghosts go with us.But everything connects with everything else. There is no such thing as a new beginning. Such a move need not be a matter for repining and regret, but a new adventure.This book records just that journey, of having to learn that new place to which Time is bringing you and populate it with its own stock of private memories.Charles Moseley writes about his move from a fenland village to the nearby historic little city of Ely and breathes life into the history, natural world and people who have made his new home what it is today.

After working as a botanist and natural historian for more than 25 years, walking the countryside had almost imperceptibly turned into a disheartening endeavour for Pete Stroh. He found himself resting at viewpoints and contemplating how much better it would be if a pasture had not been drenched with herbicide, if a woodland had not been planted up with regimented lines of conifer crops, if an arable field could every so often not be ploughed right up to the bloody roots of the hedgerowSo he decided that in writing this book, he would wander within the boundaries of the parish where he lives, record weekly what he actually saw, and restrict grumblings to a minimum, to observe rather than judge. This, he writes, took a bit of getting used to but proved ultimately to be a liberating and unexpected experience.The result is this uplifting and positive book showing the surprising abundance of nature, given half a chance.
