Notwithstanding by Louis de BernièresMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Delightful array of loosely interwoven stories of characters populating the British village of Notwithstanding. Some of their quirky situations are lighthearted, some poignant or sad. A master storyteller, author Louis de Bernières captures small moments of life with humor ~ a playful dog that is a menace on the golf course, a young boy’s triumph catching a big fish, budding young love among people confiding in a large spider, a talking rook, crazy-driving nuns, delusions of old soldiers, and the hedging and ditching man unearthing all sorts of garbage. I loved both the writing and the stories.
