The stories are just nice, about ordinary people in the small English villages. Miss Read is one of the teachers at Fairacre school, a rural school in a rural village. Readers will find no sex, violence, or profanity here in these plot-driven novels. The characters have conflicts, and life is not all smooth. However, things always seem to work out in the end. The characters seem like friends and neighbors, whom we get to know in reading the books. I read all the books in the Thrush Green, Caxley, and Fairacre series, and this is my second time through them. I am also glad to see them in e-book format too. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

After a long winter, summer is a welcome time for Miss Read and her village friends. SUMMER AT FAIRACRE charmingly recounts this bright, bustling season and the problems and possibilities that unfold against the backdrop of roses, skylarks and bees. Joseph Coggs finds a temporary home in the schoolhouse while his mother is in the hospital. Miss Read's friend Amy mysteriously disappears. Perhaps most difficult of all, Mrs Pringle, the grumpy school cleaner, is unable to work because of her 'bad leg'. Still, the sounds of children playing and the fragrance of summertime flowers fill the air, as Miss Read shepherds her students and friends through the warm season.

One of the best things about Miss Read is how real her character was throughout the story. How fiercely protective she was of her private time. The episode when she had a twitch in her eye that led her to wonder if she was going blind was so apropos. How many of us have felt a pang and instantly wondered if we had an incurable disease? Despite Miss Read's wonderful personality, I loved friend Amy even more. She was hysterical.
