Synopsis: &“If you&’ve ever enjoyed a visit to Mitford, you&’ll relish a visit to Fairacre.&” —Jan Karon After many years of teaching in the charming English village of Fairacre, Miss Read settles down to what she hopes will be a relaxing retirement. But, of course, it is not entirely so. Having bid farewell to her pupils at Fairacre School, Miss Read finds herself as busy and in demand as ever: on holiday in Florence, helping with church and school affairs, and offering a kind ear to her often eccentric neighbors. Soon she is counseling Henry Mawne on his thorny marriage; gently resisting her own perennial suitor, John Jenkins; and finally discovering her talent for writing. Once again, Miss Read&’s affection for the minutiae of village life, her love of nature, and her good humor make her excellent company.ally important. And if we can&’t live in her world, it&’s certainly a comforting place to visit.&”—USA Today
