I've read a few other D.E. Stevenson books, but this book takes the prize so far. No wonder it stands as one of Stevenson's most beloved books out of a lot of beloved books. We start with our protagonist and heroine, Barbara Buncle, a spinster a bit past her prime, worried about making ends meet. ...
This book was classic D.E. Stevenson until about 75% - Iain MacAslan is the owner, and laird, of Ardfalloch, a Scottish estate and in the years after WWI, the finances of the estate have become increasingly untenable. As a result, MacAslan finds himself forced to rent Ardfalloch to a business man fr...
These two very light, old-fashioned romances are available on Kindle Unlimited. Originally published in 1961 and 1962 in combination, they tell the story of Bel, young and somewhat impoverished woman living and working in London, and her travails. The first book gets her married off, and the second ...
Surprisingly delightful and fun read populated with lovely (and some hateful) characters. It was very slow at the beginning, the jumping back and forth between different perspectives in the same chapter made me dizzy. Then it picked up the pace along with the tension. There were times where I wanted...
I’ve had Dorothy Emily Stevenson on my list of authors to try for at least five years. I already own two of her books: Miss Buncles Book on kindle, and Mrs. Tim of the Regiment in paperback. I can’t really say what made me finally read this Kindle Unlimited offering – probably just because I will be...
Miss Buncle’s finances are in dire need of a boost. She’s discounted keeping chickens or letting in paying guests. She of course can’t let go of her maid so she resorts to one of the only avenues of income available to her. She writes a book. Little does she realise the effect her book will have on ...
Short of money, Miss Barbara Buncle needs to find a way to bring in an income. Being a woman, she's limited in her choices. She decides to write a book. This book is based on her small village. Her book, "Chronicles of an English Village" becomes "Disturber of the Peace." She did submit and her book...
Have you met Miss Barbara Buncle? It´s the 1930s: Miss Buncle is an unmarried woman in her late thirties and she has some severe economical problems. In order to earn money she writes a book under a pen name, a book about the small English village she lives in. And since she is the most unimaginativ...
I really liked this book. The tale of a grandmother leaving her house to her namesake granddaughter instead of the oldest son. Very untraditional back in those days. However, what Celia wanted, Celia got. The story steeped in traditions was about a family of 7 and a cousin all growing up in Dunnian....
