If you like the Mitford series by Jan Karon, you'll enjoy this. But for me, it was missing something...and that "something" was Jesus Christ truly being in Miss Read's life. There's so much more she could have been, all for the better. Instead she was pretty hum-drum. It was well-written, and those who don't know the difference would enjoy it all the same.

Lovely, gentle, sweet- I'm running out of clever things to say about the Fairacre series. Fortunately, I'm nearly at the end- but that's not to say they are all the same, or all boring, or anything bad. I love these books precisely for their gentleness, their civility, their quietness.

How did she do it? Though the plot of each Fairacre book doesn't differ to greatly from one to another, they somehow never get tiresome or stale! They remain charming and remarkably un-twee.
I do so love Miss Read (both the character and the authoress)!

Miss Read NEVER disappoints. When I finish all her books, I'll start reading them again. Her quiet, thoughtful books about life in a small English town that do not shy away at all from difficult subjects are rare gems, still relevant 50 years after most of them were written.
