Barbara Buncle needs money, so she does the first or second or third thing that comes to mind. Miss Buncle writes a book. She's completely innocent, maybe, of any intention to shock or amuse, but she manages to do both. Also to anger and embarrass. Miss Buncle has a best seller on her hands, and her hometown of Silverstream will never be the same. Neither will Miss Buncle. Even though it's only the second book I've read this year, it's going to be one of my favorites. Very highly recommended.
