Lark Rise by Flora Jane Thompson
3.0
I picked this book up not knowing anything about it, and not even realising that is was part of the TV adaptation until the book pointed out that this is the first of three in a series.
I started out thinking I would not enjoy this as it rambled along and there were not really any characters to get your teeth into. But before long I started to enjoy the look back on life in that era, some things are dramatically different and some of the sayings are still used today. I'm not sure that I would rush out to buy the next book, but if it happened to cross my path I would certainly give it a read. I now find myself wondering how this book was adapted to TV though, maybe I will have to get hold of the series and see.
