A bit of a departure from my normal read, sort of quirky and odd, but really enjoyed it.
Reverend Matthews is the new vicar for a small mining town in England. He’s extremely hesitant about his new post, but soon discovers his predecessor left a ledger in which he wrote all the town peoples’ secrets, some aren’t really secrets as such, while others definitely are.
I really enjoyed reading about all the interesting people of this bustling 1970s mining town, the author does a wonderful job in her character and landscape descriptions, so much so I almost felt like I was there, walking down the road with the vicar.
My only reason for the 4.5 star review has to do with ending, it seemed a bit abrupt and I didn’t feel like the story built up to the reasoning behind it—my apologies as that’s a bit of a spoiler…but I wouldn’t pass this book by for that reason, it was a truly enjoyable read!
