Springtime In Burracombe

A warm and compelling tale, part of Lilian Harrys terrific Dartmoor-based series.

The village of Burracombe is looking forward to the Coronation, but 1953 is to prove to be a year of heartbreak as well as celebration. While Stella begins to plan her wedding, her sister Maddy is only just coming to terms with the loss of her own fiancé; Val and Luke are wondering if they will ever become parents, and Hilarys chances of marriage seem at first to come closer, then to recede.

The Tozer family also face anxiety. As grandmother Minnie fights for her life, Tom and Joannas premature twins battle with their own crisis and Jackie, working and living in Plymouth, is determined to live her own life.

Meanwhile, the life of the village goes on, with all its ups and downs, its feuds and differences. Bossy Joyce Warren tries to organise everything and everyone, Miss Kemp and Stella plan yet another event for the school, Jacob Prout strives to keep Burracombe looking its best for the festivities - and romance comes from a quite unexpected direction...
