Rising Summer

This was the first Mary Jane Staples book I ever read and now I have collected all of them and am eagerly awaiting her next novel. It is so refreshing to read a lively novel that is realistic but at the same time has no sex or bad language in it. The characters are lively but with a sense of cosiness - the type of people who I would love to know. I have visited Walworth in South London where many of her books are set and was delighted to find that many of the street still exist, including East Street market. Now I feel that I can really relate to the characters and understand their backgrounds.
