Battles at Thrush Green

Children's voices ring out from the school playground; in the distance there is the gentle hum of a lawnmower; and all around the village birdsong can be heard. But despite all evidence to the contrary, in the village of Thrush Green, feelings are running high...

The rector has a plan for the neglected churchyard which doesn't meet with universal approval; there is a clash of personalities at the local school; and someone has returned to the village after an absence of fifty years. Before long, the tranquillity of the Cotswold village is shattered.

Miss Read was a teacher by profession who started writing after the Second World War. In additional to her novels, she has written on educational and country matters and worked as a script-writer for the BBC. She lives in Berkshire and was made an MBE for her services to literature.
