Riassunto

’This could be the village of our dreams’ says Peggy Palmer to her husband, when they first enter the beautiful surroundings of Round Ringford.

Their goal is to buy the local post office and shop and settle into a new way of life.But it is not going to be as easy as they imagine. They are the newcomers in a tight-knit village community.

And the unhelpful and malicious Ivy Beasley is lurking behind her lace curtains - and waiting for any opportunity to spread gossip. It is not long before she thinks she finds it - in the shape of Peggy's burgeoning friendship with Bill Turner.

Even so, Peggy throws herself into village life and is soon embroiled in the hopes, desires and disasters that beset Round Ringford - until, all too soon, she is faced with a tragedy of her own...

And she is about to discover that 'Pastures New' can come with some very old problems.
