Discover these ânovels about the gentle rhythms of English village life,â as a community bands together to save their beloved local church (The New York Times). The first day of October brought an unheralded and violent storm, which whipped through the quiet English village of Fairacre, blowing down trees and telephone polesâand, worst of all, damaging the roof of St. Patrickâs church.  The inhabitants of tiny Fairacre canât imagine how theyâll be able to afford the repairs, until Mr. Willet suggests a fundraising festival. Preparations for a food sale, concert, school play, and gigantic Christmas bazaar are soon madeâbut will they be enough?  With her customary humor and grace, Miss Read recounts a story of catastrophe and courage.  âIf youâve ever enjoyed a visit to Mitford, youâll relish a visit to Fairacre.â âJan Karon  âMiss Read reminds us of what is really important. And if we canât live in her world, itâs certainly a comforting place to visit.â âUSA Today |
