Before he knows it, he’s enmeshed in village politics and involved in the private lives of his neighbors—and his friendship with the village rector, a lonely widower, will be the catalyst for a surprising transformation . . .
“If you’ve ever enjoyed a visit to Mitford, you’ll relish a visit to Thrush Green.” —Jan Karon, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of the Mitford novels

So many printing mistakes that it was irritating to read. Otherwise I enjoyed the story.
About the author
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.
