Customer Reviews

Kent at its best!

THE DARLING BUDS OF MAY is one of the best novels by H. E. Bates, in my opinion. I really enjoyed the television adaptation of the book and thoroughly enjoyed the reading of the book. It made Kent, England and the Larkin family come alive and live in my heart and soul. I visited Kent in 1990 and I plan another trip to Kent, next year, and will be ever mindful of H. E. Bates and his wonderful book! The book is a "perfick" read!:-)
