Discover the little English village that neighbors Fairacre, in a novel thatโs โenchanting, lovely, gentle, pointed, and charmingโ (Minneapolis Sunday Tribune).
Miss Read's charming chronicles of English small-town life have achieved legendary popularity, providing a welcome return to a gentler time with โwit, humor, and wisdom in equal measureโ (The Plain Dealer).
Welcome to Thrush Green, the neighboring village to Fairacre, with its blackthorn bushes, thatch-roofed cottages, enchanting landscape, and jumble sales. Readers will enjoy meeting a new cast of characters and also spotting familiar faces as they become immersed in the villageโs turn of events over the course of one pivotal day: May Day. All year, the residents of Thrush Green have looked forward to the celebration. Before the day is over, life and love, and perhaps eternity, will touch the immemorial peace of the village.
โThe more turbulent the real world, the more charming we may find the stability of Miss Readโs tiny fictional world.โ โLos Angeles Times
