Description
'Ribald, exuberant and sophisticated... A complete joy' - Philip Hensher, Daily Telegraph. There is more going on in the village of Buckleigh than meets the eye and its sense of community is often as much a curse as a blessing. While Barrie, the local mayor, is driven into the arms of tough single mother Debbie, his father lusts after a former chorus girl whose breath now smells of 'cabbage and chocolates'. Meanwhile, a farmer's wife is driven to murder by her unfaithful husband, a carnival show more queen faces an uncertain future and the postman is in danger of realising his sexual fantasies.Playing on in the background of each of these wry, interlinked tales is the village silver band, swilling cider and keeping a sharp eye out for any misbehaviour. show lessTags
