A waik down Miss read's memory lane,
By Becca May "becca" (washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Affairs at Thrush Green (Thrush Green, Book 7) (Paperback)
In 1989 I had an unforunate surgery. I was recoverying from the latter, when I first read about "Thrush Green". I became enchanted with funny chractors in the villiage and Miss Read's delightful dry wit. I have never stopped returning to her books to smile and see who is doing what. I don't think there will be another exactly like this insightful author. I would love to be this dear woman's friend.

Another cozy visit...,
By RhondaP (Des Moines, Iowa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Affairs at Thrush Green (Thrush Green, Book 7) (Paperback)
This is another cozy visit to Thrush Green and all our friends there. So much more enjoyable than the copy-cat Jan Karon books. Any Karon fans who haven't discovered Thrush Green are in for a treat. There are many books in this series and it is always fun to catch up with old friends.
