An unalloyed delight, this is Miss Clare's life story. It also touches on the Industrial Revolution, both world wars and not a little about love and loss. The first Fairacre book which made me weep. (

I have only read half a dozen or so Miss Read books but this one may prove to be her Magnum Opus, and is definitely great background for all the other novels. Her peering into and summing up the sweep of a single quiet life and the times the protagonist lived through is beautifully done. Thank you, Miss Read! (

Love anything by Miss Read, but this just may be my favorite (after The White Robin) (
