Turnham Malpas Novel : 3
Times are changing in Turnham Malpas. Wealthy, brash Craddock Fitch up at the Big House seems determined to make his mark on the village - and the village is equally determined to stop him. sir Ralph, recently returned, is having trouble adjusting to his more modest status, while his new wife, Muriel, is struggling with her own changed circumstances.
But these concerns are eclipsed by tragedy when young Flick Charter-Plackett, adored by just about everyone in the village, is knocked down by the unpopular barman, Alan. Before the shock of the accident has passed, a new, bitter dispute springs up over houses sir Ralph wants to build on his land. Reaction to the plan seems extreme, but is there a personal motive behind one particular source of opposition?
