A must buy for fans of Lark Rise!!!!! March 14, 2008
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
Concentrating on Flora Thompsons time as a post office assistant in Grayshott, Hampshire. Heatherley continues in the same beautifully written vein as the more well known Lark Rise to Candleford stories. I finished this book in a day or so and found I just couldn't put it down. Like Lark Rise, this is more of a personal memoir than a story, and it is incredibly heartwarming and moving to realise that the many characters written here were real living, breathing people with very different stories and experiences that Thompson writes with real humanity and feeling.
I live just a few miles from where this is set, but you need not have seen or walked the heath or streets for a picture of the landscape and village, as the writing is so poignantly vivid that you will soon find yourself transported to Flora's time and world.
Any fans of Lark Rise must buy this book to discover what happened next in Flora's (or Laura's as she continues to refer to herself) life, and will again enjoy and appreciate the beautifully written passages on the surrounding nature as much as the tales of the people. Highly recommended!!!!!
A great find - and a great read June 25, 1999

What a wonderful find this book has been - Flora Thompson's "lost" sequel to her classic trilogy "Lark Rise to Candleford". In Heatherley, Flora continues to share her life experiences, which give us a glimpse of rural life almost a hundred years ago. Written in her natural and compelling style, this book, too, will surely become a classic. Jo Smith's historical notes help to identify the characters and places giving the book even greater value for social historians and those who enjoy a great read.
