The book carries you along with the dilemmas of several village characters. Will you take the moral high-ground or a more sympathetic approach to this vicar who suffers from living as a human being? I changed my view several times as the author cleverly introduced more and more aspects and implications that deserved careful consideration.

Such an insight into personal and social responsibility, love, faith and humanity.

A very emotionally provocative read., 11 Feb 2000
This book made me think about issues that I had not thought about before, made laugh out loud and cry copious tears but made me feel good at the end of it. I was suprised when I stopped reading to find myself away from the village and people I was reading about, she made it so real.

Richard's gift to Gwen on their 25th anniversary was to be a trip to Paris, where they spent their honeymoon, but this was never to be because Richard died in an accident before they had a chance. Strangely enough, his death brought their daughter Suzie closer to Gwen, with whom she always had a prickly relationship. That was, until one day, when a pregnant young woman, who bears a striking resemblance to Richard turns up at Gwen's door out of the blue. The secret that Gwen and Richard had kept for over a quarter of a century had come back and their lives were changed forever. A beautiful touching book.

A lovely book about a village and the effect Songs of praise had on it. Hard to put down

A tale of families and relationships invaded by a BBC crew!, 07 Feb 2001
This is a charming, light read of a fictitional village chosen to feature in a BBC production of Songs of Praise. Having just taken part in such an event it was great to read the 'behind the scenes' viewpoint from Pam Rhodes and how it shook up a sleepy community. Romance and humour dominate in this easy to read but hard to put down novel.
