Review from FantasticFiction

Round the market square the life of Caxley revolved, from horse-drawn drays to the noisy new motors and the aeroplanes which the young men of Caxley longed to fly, from the coronation of King Edward VII to the last flowering of the Empire, ending on the muddly battlefields of the Somme..For Sep it was the end of an era; for Bertie and Kathy, the beginning of happiness; and for young Edward, tasting his first glass of wine, there was a world of tomorrows.

From Amazon.com

Spanning over thirty years, this delightful story of two men and their families in the village of Caxley, England, takes the listener from the coronation of King Edward VII through the advent of the automobile. British actress June Barrie provides a smooth narration and distinctive personalities for the lifelong rivals. Ironmonger Bender North is portrayed as a confident and successful tradesman. Although he is somewhat gruff with villagers, Barrie reveals his softer side when he is enjoying leisure time in his garden. In contrast, Barrie portrays baker Sep Howard as a meeker and more controlled man. As the two men have their differences over the years, Barrie performs their arguments with appropriate fury and their moments of forgiveness with tenderness.

I did not really get drawn into this story, so I did not actually read the whole book. I decided to release this book as soon as I can get to a Little Free Library, (called a "minibieb" here in Netherlands). I will put this book into it.

Released 2 yrs ago (4/25/2021 UTC) at Minibieb opposite Rijssen Park in Rijssen, Overijssel Netherlands
