A review by siria
Miss Buncle's Book by D.E. Stevenson

funny lighthearted

4.0

 Barbara Buncle lives in genteel poverty in early 30s rural England. When her finances take a hit, she decides to turn to writing, and her book—written under a nom de plume, is a runaway hit. Only Miss Buncle has based her characters on the people who live in her village, who aren't all best pleased with how they've been portrayed, and shenanigans ensue. This is soufflé light, and there are some parts which are a bit far-fetched, but the whole point of this kind of book is to provide some frothy entertainment where the good end happily and the bad (or at least, the not so nice) end unhappily, and that's the kind of book I needed just now.
