Summary

Now in her early teens, Laura moves to the village of Candleford Green to work in the post office under the tutelage of her cousin Dorcas Lane, and grow into womanhood.

In Candleford Green, new ideas and new ways are coming in from the outside world, from Dorcas' famous telegraph machine to the scandalous sight of ladies riding bicycles. There are also new people entering Laura's life: the curmudgeonly old servant Zillah, the grand Sir Thomas, the Irish Harvesters and the ardent young gamekeeper Philip White.

As Laura adjusts to this world, the traditions and ways of her country childhood seem further and further away - and a different future beckons.

Brilliant 👏

It's a social and historical document. Voices we're read well. Worth listening to. Really enjoyed it.

Nostalgia without the rose tinted glasses

It’s like being taken back to a former age, but not in an airbrushed way. Told with fondness but also realistic about the hardship while mostly optimistic about the changing world.
