About this listen

 The people of Fairacre are up in arms about the possible closure of the village school. This anxious time for Miss Read is made bearable by the support of all her friends and neighbours.©2009 Mrs D J Saint (P)2014 Audible, Inc. Fiction Genre Fiction Feel-Good Village

Miss Read simply never disappoints. Like all of her work, "Village Affairs" is both beautifully written and moving as well as sweetly funny (with the occasional razor-sharp acerbic remark). Fairacre seems both so different and distant - a place worlds and ages away - and yet so timeless and easily recognisable. We all know people like the maddening Mrs Pringle or Miss Read's friend Amy.
Listening to Miss Read always guarantees several hours of pure joy and gentle escapism! Most recommended.

Miss Read has a way of transporting you to a way of life, that in my opinion was much better than it is now, no mobile phones, no social media, no games console , a time that i miss.

This was an enjoyable glimpse of an idealised world that that is long gone and probably never existed.
