The Thrush Green stories are not so much focused on one character as on the whole community. It is a community where a new resident who buys a long-empty house is thrilling news for the whole town, and where the local eccentrics and curmudgeons still have people who care about them and for them. Again, I'd recommend this tale of rural England in the 1950s to anyone in need of some comfort. Set in the 1960‘s, News From Thrush Green takes the reader to a lovely small village in the Cotswolds and there we observe the passing the year and the activities of the residents. All the familiar characters from the first two books are there, but we can see that time is catching up with frail Doctor Bailey and the elderly, cantankerous handyman, Albert Piggott. The empty house called Tullivers has been fixed up and the village welcomes a new resident, a young woman and her small son. Of course village gossip runs wild as to why there is no apparent husband in residence. Miss Read, herself was a country woman and enjoyed the passing of the seasons. In News From Thrush Green we are carried from early September through to the following May, and she provides her readers with many picturesque passages that illuminate rural life. These beautiful descriptions combined with a lively story of village life are what make these book perennial favourites of mine. When I am in the mood for a bit of nostalgia I like to turn to these gentle, charming books. Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
