The Four Graces

Miss Buncle, Book 4

By: D. E. Stevenson

Narrated by: Karen Cass

The four Grace sisters love their quiet life in the country village of Chevis Green. To some, their insular world might seem dull, but the sisters never seem to run out of conversation, jokes, and pleasant ways to pass the time together. They truly are the happiest of families. That is, until Aunt Rona comes to town.

Rona intends to stay with the Graces indefinitely, and her meddlesome attitude immediately sets the sisters' teeth on edge. Throw in another unexpected houseguest, some potential suitors and a case of mistaken intentions, and the members of the Grace family suddenly find themselves quite out of their element. Will they manage to make it through the summer and return to their quiet ways?

Even better than reading the book

The Four Graces is one of my favorite DE Stevenson books, so I never imagined that hearing it read aloud would make it even more special. The narrator is perfect, and this is a true gem.

When life is hectic, I escape into the arms of DE Stevenson. She never disappoints.

Another Great One for Fans of DE Stevenson

Excellent narration brining the characters to life by revealing their character through voice. DE Stevenson continues to weave the theme of quaint countryside life of Britain while continuing to develop characters from previous stories into their own strength.

The Four Graces

As an avid Stevenson fan I was happy to see this book on Audible. The wartime story of a widowed minister and his four daughters in a small rural village is vintage Stevenson. The differences between their two unwanted house guests and how they impact the family keeps the story moving along at a lively pace. If you are not familiar with Ms. Stevenson, this book will make you a fan.

The best of DE Stevenson’s wonderful books

I’ve always loved this book, even more than the Mrs. Tim and Barbara Buncle books. But I’m now even more rapt in the fabulous audio book version narrated by Karen Cass.
Set in war time England, it portrays village life, with a focus on the four daughters of Mr. Grace, country parson.
I highly recommend this absolutely beautiful story.
