About Author

Miss Read

Dora Jessie Saint MBE (17 April 1913 – 7 April 2012), née Shafe, best known by the pen name Miss Read, was an English novelist and, by profession, a schoolmistress. Her pseudonym was derived from her mother's maiden name. She is best known for two series of novels set in the English countryside, the Fairacre novels and the Thrush Green novels.

Description

From Google Books: "The last decade of old Septimus Howard’s life sees many upheavals. War comes to Caxley and his favorite grandson Edward, a pilot, brings home a wife who seems too cold and aloof for the Howard family. The Howards’ restaurant in Market Square survives the wartime shortages, but its temperamental manager, Robert, is slipping past the point when eccentricity becomes insanity. "
