In the Heart of the Country by H.E. Bates

tabbycat_3's review

5.0

Beautifully written observations of the English countryside, many of which are timeless. The Second World War occasionally appears in Bates’s descriptions of the seasons but the author always emphasises that nature seems untroubled by human turmoil:

“A cataclysm shakes the world and yet the world goes on.”
