Candleford Green

Set in late 19th century Oxfordshire, the trilogy captures the essence of rural life on the brink of change due to mechanization. In the concluding book, a young Laura transitions to Candleford Green to work at the post office with her cousin Dorcas Lane. As she navigates her new responsibilities and relationships, she finds joy in her work but longs for the open spaces of her childhood home, Lark Rise. The narrative beautifully explores themes of growth, nostalgia, and the impact of societal changes on personal lives.
