The Two Mrs. Abbotts (Miss Buncle #3)
by
by
A nice summing up of the Miss Buncle books, the trilogy ends on a high note with just a bit of sadness since Jerry's Sam is in North Africa. World War 2 is still going strong, but it doesn't put much of a damper on the goings on in the little town. There is a fourth book called The Four Graces, which I don't believe has anything about Miss Buncle in it, although I may have heard wrong.
Miss Marks in this one is a wonderful character and is truly what could be considered quintessentially English. Miss Marks is poor, but not needy; she works hard to take care of herself and has a stiff upper lip. She is tough, but kind and looks out for others. She knows when to take charge if needed.

Unfortunately no Barbara in The Four Geaces, but it's still a lovely read. Little Women meets Jane Austen in WWII in the English countryside. :)

I think Jerry is in it too, but my memory is already fading.... :-)

I will have to get it Susan. Thanks!
I loved Markies part of the story in this .. very enjoyable . Definitely the effects of war for folks at home too were beginning to be felt in such a difficult way .

Yes, the English suffered so much, not only the loss of their young men and bombings at home, but the rationing was so hard. I read that people used their toothbrushes until they had no bristles left. The English truly saved us all.
