A Few Green LeavesA compelling portrait of a town that seems to be forgotten by time, but which is unmistakably affected by it. Romance shares the pages with death in this engaging novel that has history represented by Druid ruins and an eighteenth century manor juxtaposed against the banalities of life in the 1970s. |
