My only poor excuse for reading this book is that I was recovering from the flu whilst on a beach holiday. ( ) Christmas at Thrush Green by Miss Read is the 13th and last book in her Thrush Green series. I have been reading these books on and off again over the last 12 years and although my comfort reads will now be set in Fairview, the location of her other series, I will certainly miss the inhabitants of Thrush Green. When this volume opens, the small village in the Cotswold is getting ready for the Christmas season and plans are afoot for a Nativity play, and two parties, one at Christmas and the other on New Years Eve. This timeline sets the framework for the story. There are some changes coming for the residents, but the author gives a small story line to all the main characters and as we leave them, they are all happy, safe and secure. I will miss this heart-warming series with it’s stories of village life told with a strong sense of nostalgia and charm. Christmas at Thrush Green was published when the author was in her nineties and in failing health apparently her long time editor assisted her in the writing, but for me, it still came across as true to the series and gave me a lovely, old-time Christmas feeling. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

A brand new Miss Read novel, set in the Cotswold village of Thrush Green at Christmas. The villagers of Thrush Green celebrate Christmas traditionally, in a way that has hardly changed over the generations. Children eagerly hang up their stockings, families go to church together and everyone enjoys the treats of the festive season. And when it snows as the carol singers make their way round the cottages on the green, it looks as if Christmas will be perfect this year. But not everything is as peaceful as it seems. Phyllida and Frank have their work cut out for them when they agree to take on the Nativity play - made all the more difficult by an outbreak of chicken pox. The indomitable Ella has lived in Thrush Green for as long as anyone can remember, but lately she has been behaving strangely. Then there are the dreadful Burwells, newcomers to Thrush Green, who cause something of a stir with their 'home improvements'. For Nelly, owner of The Fuchsia Bush tea shop, Christmas is an especially busy time, with people dropping in for much-needed refreshment, weary from all their Christmas shopping. But then she receives an unexpected letter. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
