It seems a bit unfair giving this book three stars because I think it did exactly what it was trying to do: be a sweet little tale about English village life in 1972. But, nothing really happened, there were awkward shifts in between first and third person, and some of the writing was clunky. It was the first 'Miss Read' book I've read, and I'm sure it will the last.
