Set in a small West Country village, Jam & Jerusalem is all about Sal who, along with best friend Tip, the surgery's receptionist with an intricate knowledge of everyone's ailments, lives a busy life at the centre of their community. Despite her love for her fellow villagers, Sal cannot bring herself to join the local church's Ladies' Guild, knitting and cake-baking not being her scene. / But when her husband dies suddenly and her son takes over the practice, Sal finds herself widowed, out of a job and rattling round an empty home. In an attempt to avoid visits from the local Grieving Group, she decides it's time she started to take her own advice – stop sleeping in the dog basket, get a haircut and a new top and take stock of her new life. And the Ladies' Guild seems as good a place to start as any... Currently 8/10
