Affairs at Thrush Green: A Novel

Make a visit to this English village: “What you will find in the novels of Miss Read is an aura of warm happiness. ” —The Columbus Dispatch

In the quaint English village of Thrush Green, a terrible fire has burned the rectory to the ground. Now, kindly vicar Charles Henstock has been appointed to the neighboring town of Lulling and its combined parishes. But while he enjoys the beautiful Queen Anne house provided for him, and his pleasant new surroundings, going to a new church is never easy: Poor Dr. Henstock has encountered some very redoubtable females in Lulling; a full-scale power struggle erupts over the question of kneeling cushions for the Lady Chapel; and other difficulties revolve around the crotchety old sexton Albert Piggott.

Meanwhile, a mysterious stranger arrives at the Fuschia Bush café, and its rivalry with the Two Pheasants becomes more acute. One knows, however, that Miss Read will set everything right in the end.

“Affairs at Thrush Green will surely delight all those addicted to Miss Read … and may well make converts of those who read her here for the first time. ” —The Plain Dealer
