âIf youâve ever enjoyed a visit to Mitford, youâll relish a visit to Thrush Green,â where thereâs a spring in the step of villagers young and old (Jan Karon, #1 New York Timesâbestselling author).  It is spring in the village of Thrush Green. In neighboring Lulling, Charles Henstock admires the blooming garden of his new vicarage, glad the squabbles with his parishioners in Affairs at Thrush Green are settled. And yet the good vicar wistfully recalls his former homeâthe ugly, old rectory of Thrush Green, which burned to the ground. Now, from the rectoryâs ruins, the villagers are building eight retirement homes for the older folks most in need. But how to choose who will live there? How will they get on together? And how will they accommodate the dogs, cats, and birds that must come along? The spring has brought a new crop of dilemmas, but Dr. Henstock and the villagers are determined to make the old people feel at home in Thrush Green.  In the end, harmony is restored to this tiny fictional world. With wit and grace, Miss Read has charmed numerous critics and won the loyalty of readers who will happily find themselves once more At Home in Thrush Green.  âBeneath the deceptive simplicity . . . there is arch humor and perceptive character analysis . . . Delightful.â âPublishers Weekly |
