The sequel to Miss Buncle's Book finds our heroine, now Barbara Abbott, married and looking for a new town to settle down and make a home in. This is still a pleasant read, but is much more meandering and unfocused than the first book, and parts of it feel more dated, too. ( On a friend’s recommendation, I picked up the first Miss Buncle book last year…and fell in love with it. When I had the chance to read book two in the series recently, I jumped at it. What a fun story! In some ways, it’s different from the first book in the series, but it still retains that simple charm of the first book, while not being a slow or draggy read. There are spots of humor in the book, such as when Miss Buncle (now Mrs. Abbott) is convinced that “Someday…somebody would find out that she was an imposter in the adult world.” I could relate to that! Or the time when someone’s trousers mysteriously went missing on a very important night…. This was a sweet, fun, fast read. If you are looking for a lighthearted, easy read, I’d highly recommend this series. I adore Mrs. Abbott and her perspective on the world, and the way the other characters are described is both funny and perceptive. I’m looking forward to reading the other books in this series. Not *quite* as good as Miss Buncle's Book, but still pretty good. Barbara is now married to Arthur Abbot, and bored of the socialising they seem unable to get out of, they decide to move instead. Finally they find a place that Barbara can "do up" whilst allowing Arthur to still work in Town. Apart from Sam and his new girlfriend, the supporting characters are not as "large" as in the previous book, but that might be a good thing, to prevent Stevenson from repeating herself. This time the focus is much more on Barbara and Arthur and it is very sweet. La senyoreta Buncle, ara ja casada i amb una marit mooolt enamorat, es trasllada a un altre poblet de la campinya anglesa. Allà li passen noves aventures amb els veïns i coneguts. Una novel·la rosa, que passa sense pensar. No sempre m'ha agradat la traducció, en alguns moments amb un llenguatge forçat. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

A beloved author who has sold more than seven million books, D. E. Stevenson is at her best with the stories of Miss Buncle. "Completely charming."
