The Bells Of Little Woodford by Catherine Jones Review and Blog Tour



This is the story of a little village called Little Woodford , it’s a quaint place where everyone knows their neighbors and even more so the gossip about them, adding to the charm of the story . 

The story is told from a lot of the villagers perspectives but primarily from Bex’s point of view , Bex is a much loved resident , a widow and mother . I instantly loved her . In the story we have a whole host of interesting characters with colorful lives and traits . It’s safe to say life here is anything but boring and it becomes even less so with the arrival of new resident Miranda ( ice queen) and her adoring husband Roderick . 

Miranda is an incredible nightmare of a new resident and does not give a hoot if anyone likes her or what she stands for , she is very opinionated and those opinions differ wildly from her neighbors adding to many tongue in cheek moments while reading this . . Now every story needs a villain and she most definitely wins this role hands down , she is insufferable and thrives upon disapproval . 

If you had. It guessed already I loved this , from the setting of the story all the way to the end this was a delicious read , a truly heartwarming story . Read and enjoy ! 


I was lucky enough to receive this copy from the lovely people over at Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. 

This book is now published and is available from all good bookstores . 




The Bells of Little Woodford – Catherine Jones

 

About the book

 

The town of Little Woodford seems peaceful and picture-postcard beautiful, with its marketplace, ancient church and immaculate allotments.

 

But behind the tranquil facade, troubles are brewing. Olivia Lewthwaite, former town councillor, pillar of the WI and all-round busybody, has been forced by her husband’s gambling debts to sell their house - her pride and joy.

 

She hates the new estate they’ve moved to and knows she needs to humble herself to apply for a job. To make matters worse, a thoroughly disagreeable woman has bought Olivia’s beloved Grange and sets about objecting to everything she can, from the ringing of the church bells, to the market stall selling organic local meat.

 

It isn’t long before the town is in turmoil.
