THE VILLAGE SHOW

THE FOURTH IN THE CHRONICLES OF TURNHAM
MALPAS SERIES

Louise Bissett, daughter of Sir Ronald and Lady Sheila Bissett, comes to the village after a disastrous love affair which has caused her to lose her job in a bank. She develops a passion for the rector, Peter Harris and helps him on the Parish magazine.

When the Village show requires a secretary, she volunteers, little realising the jealousies and rivalries the Show will unearth amongst the villagers and how problematic the Show will be to organise.

Telling the Rector of her feelings for him, Louise is devastated when he rejects her and she realises she is never going to have him for her own. But the church choir master has seen her need for love and provides her with it. A state of affairs she keeps secret from everyone.

Finally, the show goes ahead and is a tremendous success. Louise has changed and much to her surprise, her feelings for the village, which she once despised, have also changed. She has come to love the village and feels it is the one place she would always like to live.
