A Summerstoke Affair
£4.99
Caroline Kington
A tale of passion, power and dirty parsnips
‘A light and humorous look at village life’ The Herald
In the West Country village of Summerstoke, as autumn beckons, the fireworks party is not the only thing set to go with a bang.
Juliet Peters, soap star, publicity junkie and all-round flirt, and Isabelle Garnett, ex-artist, neglected housewife and mother-of-two, seem to have nothing in common. When they both try to build a new life in the country, they discover there are no such things as secrets in village life.
Their husbands seem to be on a collision course too. One is the new MP returning to his roots; the other, the local newspaper editor, on the lookout for scandal. Add to the mix a wild-child teenager, a reformed rogue, a ruthless social-climbing couple and four old ladies with a manor house and an ear for gossip, and you’ve got a recipe for trouble.
Packed with intrigue, humour and spirit, Caroline Kington’s delightful novel serves up an affair to remember.

Having grown up in a village, and now living again in one, I can vouch for it being a glorious trilogy based firmly in reality. I recommend them heartily – they have given me hours of hugely enjoyable reading’ Stephanie Cole
