It was so sweet in the sense you cannot dislike any of the characters as they only have each others interests at heart but even in 174 pages it seemed to drag for me.
Maybe it was the way it was written. Mary Smith could be considered an outsider as she often spends time away from Cranford which seems in itself an entire different world.
Yet she is centre to all the action in the lives of Miss Matty and the others but does not acknowledge that she has such a big part.
What did make me laugh is that the women have their own hierarchy, they moan about men when they dare to enter their society and do not care for what might be considered the norm outside of their small town.
That I did like.
I agree with Rowen's point that the book has many plots that would not be amiss in Eastenders or Coronation Street but the resolutions were not exciting or left me a little miserable.
