5.0 out of 5 stars Tales from Turham Malpas, October 27, 2006

This review is from: The New Rector (Tales from Turnham Malpas) (Mass Market Paperback)

In the village of Turham Malpas in Great Britain, there is a buzz in the air. After years of having an elderly, staid minister, there is a new, young rector in town. As the book progresses, the reader is introduced to the people of Turham Malpas, their stories, their histories, and become invested in their futures. There's romance, drama, suspense, intrigue, etc, etc.

I absolutely love this book (and the series that go with it). I read it for the first time when I was traveling Europe and it was the first English novel my poor hands had managed to find in weeks, and I was indescribably enthused . . . and this excellent first impression has never died. I don't think I could read the whole series back to back without getting tired of it, but I love to pick one up every now and then. The look into the life of a little British village (and all the drama it contains) is just plain fun. It is filled with quirky characters, well-rounded imperfect main figures, the good, the bad, the mysterious. Yay.

This review is from: The New Rector (Turnham Malpas 01) (Kindle Edition)

I love this book. I've just bought it for my kindle so I can always have it with me. The New Rector is the first in a series of approx 20 Turnham Malpas books by Rebecca Shaw, and it's a really good read. Like all of Rebecca's books it is a great look at the mysteries and intrigues of a small English Village. Rebecca writes in a way that makes you wish that you lived there too. All of the characters come to life on the page. Good things and bad things happen. I wait every year for the new addition to the series.... Highly Recommended.
