A Turnham Malpas Novel: 3
Times are changing in Turnham Malpas. Wealthy, brash Craddock Fitch
up at the Big House seems determined to make his mark on the village
- and the village is equally determined to stop him. Sir Ralph, recently
returned, is having trouble adjusting to his more modest status, while
his new wife, Muriel, is struggling with her own changed circumstances.
But these concerns are eclipsed by tragedy when young Flick Charter-Plackett,
adored by just about everyone in the village, is knocked down by the
unpopular barman, Alan. Before the shock of the accident has passed,
a new, bitter dispute springs up over houses Sir Ralph wants to build
on his land. Reaction to the plan seems extreme, even by village standards
- but is there a personal motive behind one particular source of opposition?
