A very warm and cozy read, "With Hearts and Hymns and Voices" makes you want to snuggle up in your favorite chair and spend the afternoon with the residents of Sandford, a small Suffolk village in the UK. Life in the village (just like in my village) seems to focus around the church. Anyone growing up in a small town will be able to place the characters in there own town - the busybodies, the helpers, the troublemakers, the peacemakers... they're all here. When the BBC decides they are going to film in Sanford for a television show, all chaos begins. Everyone wants to be in the show, and some will go to great lengths to get there. Then there are others who will go out of there way to keep the show from being filmed. I found this all very amusing and very true to life. This is a very well written book, but the pace, like the village is slower than what I would have expected. This wasn't a bad thing for me, as I savored the time frame and getting to know the characters better than I would have in a fast paced book. It was certainly an enjoyable read for me.

A sparkling novel about the BBC 'Songs of Praise' team recording a Palm Sunday broadcast from a small idyllic Suffolk village. As the outside broadcast vehicles roll in, ambitions and emotions run high. Producer Jan Harding finds the vicar, Clive Linton, hopelessly absent-minded. His practical wife Helen gets on well with the television team - perhaps a little too well, where the charming, enigmatic Michael is concerned. Charles, the Parish Council chairman, is deeply opposed and resents the enthusiasm of other villagers - including his wife Betty. Bunty Maddocks, queen of every local committee, plots to get round the ban on church flowers during Lent; retired accountant Jack Diggens finds purpose, faith and friendship as he plans tickets and seating; and teenage soloist Anna surprises herself with her success. This delightful story will make you laugh and cry. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

This is a sweet slice of life with a gentle and steady pace. It gives us a very good overview of the details and care which go into the making of a television program. Put the kettle on, fluff the pillow and curl up in your comfy chair for an afternoon of cozy reading. ( )
