A funny and heartbreaking exploration of an English village from the bestselling author of Captain Corelli s Mandolin.Welcome to the village of Notwithstanding, where a lady dresses in plus fours and shoots squirrels, a retired general gives up wearing clothes altogether, a spiritualist lives in a cottage with the ghost of her husband, and people think it quite natural to confide in a spider that lives in a potting shed. Based on de Berni res' recollections of the village he grew up in, Notwithstanding is a funny and moving depiction of a charming vanished England.
