18、rough the fruit and veg section of my local supermarket, reading the country of origin labels, I am bewildered by the geography of it all. That the fruits of t he earth should all be laid out on tidy shelves in this provincial corner of Britain woul d have been unthinkable a few years ago, yet now i

19、t is taken for granted. Once strange and exotic fruits that only the rich could afford, if not now part of eve ryones diet, are certainly part of our everyday shopping experience. So much so that i nstead of focusing on the novel, I am drawn to the commonplace. Here, among the “h umble” vegetables,

22、ity people who are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city. I have managed to convince myself that it werent for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried

23、 in the country. But how realistic is the dream? Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the population live in massive tow er blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window is

24、sky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervouscooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in t

25、ower blocks dont even say hello to each other. Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together. People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they

26、 need help. But country life has disadvantages too.

The city-dweller who leaves for the country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet. What, then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peac

But one of its main advantages is that you are at the center of things, and that life doesnt come to an end at half-past nine at night. So me people have found (or rather bought) a compromise between the two; they have expressed their preference for the “quiet life” by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers they leave
