When the BBC Songs of Praise team decides to broadcast a Palm Sunday service from a small idyllic Suffolk village, not everyone is happy. The vicar, Clive, is amiably absent-minded, but his practical wife Helen gets on well with the television team - perhaps a little too well, where the charming, enigmatic Michael is concerned. Charles, the Parish Council chairman, is deeply opposed and resents the enthusiasm of other villagers - including his wife Betty. As the outside broadcast vehicles roll in, the emotional temperature rises...
A wonderful story similar to Jan Karon's Mitford Series.

With Hearts and Hymns and Voices is the story of a small English village invaded by a television crew as they prepare for and film a Lenten service in the village church. The beginning of the book gives a list of the cast of characters, characters that the reader will become involved with and soon grow to love, characters that the reader will not want to leave at the end of this delightful tale of the village of Sandford. Various vignettes and relationships are related and most are satisfactorily tied together at the end of the book. If you're like me, you'll be clamoring for more like this from author Pam Rhodes after you read With hearts and hymns and voices!
