Produktbeschreibung

Both the good and the bad find sanctuary in an English village- "You'll relish a visit to Thrush Green" (Jan Karon, #1 New York Times-bestselling author). It's spring again in the village of Thrush Green, and with the changing of the seasons comes change in the lives of many villagers. The Young family's tranquility is disrupted by the sudden arrival of Joan's father, while Molly and Ben Curdle consider putting an end to their wandering days in order to finally settle down. Even the reappearance of Sexton Albert Piggott-one of Thrush Green's more malevolent sorts-cannot dim the happiness that inevitably prevails at Thrush Green. "The more turbulent the real world, the more charming we may find the stability of Miss Read's tiny fictional world." -Los Angeles Times "A charming little world in which to live . . . One learns a good deal about human nature, integrity, and about truth." -Christian Herald

Autorenporträt

Miss Read (1913-2012) was the pseudonym of Mrs. Dora Saint, a former schoolteacher beloved for her novels of English rural life, especially those set in the fictional villages of Thrush Green and Fairacre. The first of these, Village School, was published in 1955, and Miss Read continued to write until her retirement in 1996. In the 1998, she was awarded an MBE, or Member of the Order of the British Empire, for her services to literature.
