A peaceful retirement Book

A lovely wrap up to a darling series

Marie's Read (Marie Shirley Griffin)

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series (no murders, no sexual content, no bad language - a really nice change of pace).

Life in a small English village as seen through the eyes of their school teacher over many many years.

Villages, towns, etc. always have more or less the same type of folks with relatively the same issues, but this series is so nicely done, that you just can't help but caring how things turn out.

There are a few surprises, but it's just peaceful, gentle reading. Good for the soul in this day and age when politicians are at each other's throats and millions of people are trying to find homes in countries far from theirs due to war and the kind of atrocious behavior we thought we would never see again once WWII was over.

Just goes to prove that those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.

Too bad we can't live more like most of the folks in the series, neighbors helping neighbors, people truly caring about each other.
