Hardback: The course of true love never did run smooth, as the Prior's Ford residents are beginning to discover. The once-failing Tarbethill Farm is facing a happier future thanks to the business plan drawn by up Alison Greenlees, who hopes one day to become the farmer's wife. It is just a pity Ewan McNair, now running the farm, refuses to see himself as the sort of husband Alison deserves.
Meanwhile, at Linn Hall, the impoverished Ralston-Kerr family are thrown into confusion by the return of famous actress Meredith Whitelaw - whose arrival is bad news for her daughter Ginny, anxious to catch the eye of the son of the house.
And Thatcher's Cottage is now home to Dr Malcolm Finlay, a retired university academic with a secret ability to turn the hearts and heads of almost all the women in the village.
Return To Prior's Ford (2012) is the sixth instalment of Scottish village life in Evelyn Hood's enjoyable-snapshot-of-country-life Prior's Ford series.
