A Rural Diversion - Paperback

by Ray Hobbs (Author)

In this sequel to An Act of Kindness, Freddy and Sylvia are now married and living in Wensleydale, Yorkshire.

It is 1950, and Britain is beset by rationing, austerity and shortages, but Freddy decides to lift everyone's spirits by reviving the Yoredale Players.

The members are willing enough but, with no funds for essential items, Freddy must write and compose a new musical. Sylvia will provide choreography, and accompaniment will be provided by Freddy's dance band 'The Dalesmen.'

The task is daunting; even Freddy and Sylvia are sometimes apprehensive, and another question, unrelated to the show, is seldom far from their thoughts. Will Sylvia ever become pregnant and start the family she wants so badly?
