Book description
Why read it?
1 author picked Love on a Branch Line as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this quirky comic 1959 novel about civil servant Jasper, who is sent off to the fictional village of Arcady on the Norfolk/Suffolk border to assess unusual goings-on in a big country house. It has all the fun of Nancy Mitford with top notes of P.G.Wodehouse.
Jasper falls in love with both daughters of eccentric legless aristocrat Lord Flamborough, who lives on a steam train on his own private railway. There is a fete, cricket on the green, and many romantic misunderstandings.
From Caroline's list on capturing the magic of Norfolk, UK.
