The Thoughts & Happenings of Wilfred Price, Purveyor of Superior Funerals
The Thoughts & Happenings of Wilfred Price, Purveyor of Superior Funerals | Wendy Jones
5 posts | 13 read | 14 to read
Everyone has to make decisions about love. Wilfred Price, overcome with emotion on a sunny spring day, proposes to a girl he barely knows at a picnic. The girl, Grace, joyfully accepts and rushes to tell her family of Wilfred's intentions. But by this time Wilfred has realised his mistake. He does not love Grace. On the verge of extricating himself, Wilfred's situation suddenly becomes more serious when Grace's father steps in. Up until this point in his life, Wilfred's existence has been blissfully simple, and the young undertaker seems unable to stop the swirling mess that now surrounds him. To add to Wilfred's emotional turmoil, he thinks he may just have met the perfect girl for him. As Wilfred struggles in an increasingly tangled web of expectation and duty, love and lies, Grace reveals a long-held secret that changes everything . . . Wendy Jones's charming first novel is a moving depiction of love and secrecy, set against the rural backdrop of a 1920s Welsh village, and beautifully told.

Mehso-so

Set in 1924, funeral director blurts out a marriage proposal because he is taken by the image of her in a yellow dress. She accepts but he immediately regrets his decision.

The middle of this was a bit slow for me but the ending was strong. Really, this is just not my type of fiction. #24in48

AWahle I came over to look at your cover for A Vintage Affair and had to laugh because I recently picked up the other book at a library sale! Great minds and all that... 8y
Suzze @AWahle That's funny. I haven't read that one yet either. 8y

The UK cover of Wilfred Price.

I picked this one up on a whim from the library last year and it was one of my top finds. Its sequel, The World is a Wedding, is even better.

Here's my #booktober entry in the #longtitle category. I've never read a Europa Edition I didn't enjoy! This book is populated by some offbeat, but endearing characters. Now I must read Jones' second book and see how it all turned out...

RealLifeReading Europa Editions always put out very interesting and unusual reads. 8y
thecharmofit Europa always has gorgeous covers! I'm copying you by sharing a long title book, although I have no idea what booktober is. It sounds like a theme thing? 8y
Libby1 This book is wonderful and the second in the series is even better. Also, check out the covers on the UK editions. They're beautiful. 8y

I loved this, especially the title! Slow going at first, then I was taken with hapless Wilfred's attempts to get on with his life. Reading this commits one to the next, The World is a Wedding.
