A Village Vacancy is a captivating tale of beautiful, funny, and emotional storytelling by Fay Keenan, the bestselling author of A Village Affair. Set in the charming Yorkshire village of Westenbury, the novel explores the dynamics of the community as it grapples with the loss of one of its own.

As the women of Westenbury contemplate who will fill the vacancy in the life of handsome widower David, Grace Stevens, a determined and independent woman, has made the decision to move on without her good-for-nothing husband. With her focus shifting away from men and towards managing her unruly class of pre-teens, Grace finds herself busier than ever before.

In the midst of her busy life, Grace encounters an unexpected dalliance with a pupil's father, becomes involved in a drug ring investigation, and maintains her close bond with her closest girlfriends. However, as she spends more time with David, her resolve to go it alone begins to waver.

Through her witty and relatable characters, Fay Keenan weaves a tale of love, friendship, and self-discovery. A Village Vacancy is a warm, witty, and wonderful addition to the Westenbury series, offering readers a delightful and heartwarming experience.
