Summary

When Charles Henstock, rector of Thrush Green, moves a mile downhill to the parish of Lulling, his many friends rejoice in his promotion. But an unfortunate skirmish with one of his wealthy parishioners over the Lady Chapel kneelers saddens him.

Another heartwarming book from Miss Read

Heartwarming, nostalgic, wonderful characters and a finely drawn portrait of village life; another gift to treasure from Miss Read.

Lovely Stories

These Miss Read books really are quaint and interesting, I really enjoy going into times past. The only downside is (I have quite a few of these now) they don't give any indication what order they run in so I find myself at times getting a back story!!

Another beautiful tale so well told

I totally love Miss Reads books, they are so thoughtful and comforting. However, also entertaining and have some hard topics in them but discussed very sensitively and lightly.

I will be so sad when I’ve read them all, but I guess I can just listen to them again! I never knew this type of book was missing from my life, but now it’s all I want to read.

They are so heartwarming…
I did have a little titter at the first few mentions of ‘Lady Chapel’, of which they were many, but I got over it. Sorry Miss Read…

Another visit to magical Thrush Green!

"Affairs at Thrush Green" is another charming visit to the loveliest of places, beautifully written and flawlessly narrated. I'd give the book 10 stars if I could. What a treat Miss Read's work is!

Delightful!

A charming story of village and small town UK, life, in the 1960s.Well read and with a few twists, but a thoroughly satisfactory ending!
