Notwithstanding by Louis de Bernières

Louis de Bernières is mostly famous for his novel Captain Corelli's Mandolin. This book is quite different. It's set in an imaginary English village - although L. de Bernières admits in its afterword that he's been inspired from the village of his childhood - during several periods. All the characters are larger than life and the stories are funny, witty and originals. Rural English life at its best eccentricities.
