Winter in Thrush Green by Miss Read

mschrock8's review against another edition

3.0

Continuing this sweet series I discovered at the last library used book sale. Always gossip and speculation in the small town of Thrush Green.

This volume included:
a cocktail party on Hallow E'en
many one-sided thoughts of marriage
a statue to be erected in the green

"Normally, Ella designed her own Christmas card." A woman of my own heart.

Another escape from the world. Harold Shoosmith arrives and changes the tempo of the village. Dimity and Ella's relationship grows; Albert Piggott meets his match and the lonely rector finally gets good news.

Winter in Thrush Green is the 2nd book in Miss Read’s charming Thrush Green series. While it’s nice to read these serialized books in order and watch the characters develop over time, it’s not necessary. Each book, illustrated with J. S. Goodall’s lovely pen and ink drawings, can be read as a stand-alone novel. I dip into Miss Read’s books whenever I need to escape into a world surrounded by natural beauty & catch up with old friends over some tea & cake. Enjoy your stay at Thrush Green…

This is the second book in a charming series set in the town of "Thrush Green." It is a "cozy" book in a cozy setting with likable characters.
