A Marriage and a Sudden Move to a New Town Won't Slow This Mischievous Writer Down! Barbara Buncle: bestselling novelist, new wife...new neighbor? In this charming follow-up to Miss Buncle's Book, the intrepid writer moves to a new town filled with fascinating folks...who don't even know they might become the subjects of her next bestselling book. Miss Buncle may have settled down, but she has already discovered that married life can't do a thing to prevent her from getting into humorous mix-ups and hilarious hijinks. A beloved author who has sold more than seven million books, D. E. Stevenson is at her best with the stories of Miss Buncle.
A pleasant read jarred by appalling asides
Miss Buncle Married, the follow up to Miss Buncle's Book, continues on with her life as a newly married woman. Smart and clever, we follow Barbara and her husband to a new home in a new village, where Barbara inserts herself with the locals and changes lives in her trademark way. If you enjoyed the first book, you will like the characters in this one just as well. I especially enjoyed Barbara getting to know Sam, her new nephew who comes to stay with them, and meddling as you might come to expect. And like the end of Miss Buncle's Book, the ending sets us up for a whole new set of adventures to be found in The Two Mrs. Abbotts.
