A glance at the maps contained in this book will soon reveal that the area covered extends well beyond the classic Cotswolds, but it never strays far from true limestone country with its typically lovely stone towns and villages. "The Cotswold Town and Village Guide": The latest fully updated edition of the "Definitive Guide to Places of Interest in the Cotswolds" as the author says this is the result of my continuing love affair with the Cotswolds, an area that I have known for most of my life and one that I have been visiting with my camera and notebook for well over fifty years.

I'm gonna leave it at 5 for now, and when I do a re-read I will see if it should be amended (because there WILL be a re-read).įirst though: this book was EXPENSIVE for an unknown author with a few published books, but not a lot of reviews.

I am changing a wee bit of my review after the re-read, since the ending is now much more clear AND I need to add to my understanding of Vie's characterization, since he is quite volatile in the beginning, and it should probably be a warning. Hear every heartbeat scream that everysinglething is wrong with you. Unfortunately, many young women will relate to her despair, and if the. Lias tale is both painful to read and riveting.
