Big changes are afoot in a small English villageâ âIf youâve ever enjoyed a visit to Mitford, youâll relish a visit to Fairacreâ (Jan Karon, #1 New York Timesâbestselling author of To Be Where You Are).  Trouble brews in the tiny country village of Fairacre, when it is discovered that Farmer Millerâs Hundred Acre Field is slated for real estate development. Alarming rumors are circulating, among them the fear that the village school may close. The endearing schoolmistress Miss Read brings her inimitable blend of affection and clear-sighted candor to this report, in which a young girl finds her first love, an older woman accepts a new role in life, and the impassioned battle to save the village from being engulfed is at the forefront of every villagerâs mind.  âWise, ironic, kindly, full of atmosphere and characters, rural charm, broad dialects, and the impishness of children.â âSt. Louis Post-Dispatch  âAffectionate, humorous, and gently charming . . . Sometimes funny, sometimes touching, always appealing.â âThe New York Times |
