Publisher Description

Tender, funny, and full of warmth, Country Wives is the second in this brilliant new series of novels set in a veterinary practice on the outskirts of the Dorset town Barleybridge.

The arrival of Dan the new vet causes trouble in the practice. In his first week, he succeeds in losing an important client by his arrogant behaviour. But Kate, a receptionist planning to go to veterinary college, finds she likes his in-your-face approach to things. And as Dan helps Kate through the trauma of losing her mother, he introduces her to the real work of a vet, helping the likes of Sunny Boy the bull; Copperfield, a cruelty-case cat; Perkins the Airedale; the superb horse; and Cadbury the Labrador.

"I haven't enjoyed reading about village life since the last of the Miss Read books, all of which I've read. It's great to know that Rebecca Shaw has created two villages, and has 15 or more books on village life in England. I anticipate enjoyable reading for the next year or more. "

    " This was a fun read, though I had to flip to the character list a bit too often. It seemed more like a set of vignettes rather than a novel with a full plot (rising action, etc) but I liked it anyway. "

    " Country Wives is centered around a Veterinary practice in Barleybridge England. It's a small village where everyone knows their neighbors. The story is delightfully warm, engaging and filled with the joys of small town life. A lovely book. "

    " Did what I wanted it to do-distraction during a stressful time without making me think too much. Mitford/Herriot by-blow. "

    " I found this book and all of the other books in this series very enjoyable. I was in a place where the books were so delightful and strange as it might sound, peaceful to me. I absolutely LOVED the characters and I was terribly sad when I read the last book of the series! "
