Review # 1 was written on 2019-05-12 00:00:00 RODRICUS GLOVER This was a re-read for me, and what a pleasure it was to re-visit the 1950�s era, and in particular the English village of Thrush Green. A village of pretty thatched cottages, a picture postcard landscape, birds singing, bees buzzing in the beautiful cottage gardens, trees about to blossom - you get the idea. The inhabitants of Thrush Green aren�t all perfect though, they�re an eclectic bunch of characters, good, bad and indifferent. This entire storyline takes place on one single day - May Day. This is a day that the villagers look forward to, a day of excitement for everyone, because it�s the day that the carnival comes to town, a day when anything can happen. These novels are very much character driven, and I think it�s what gives them their charm. This was a world before the advancement of technology, and sometimes - just sometimes, I�d love to inhabit that long gone era! If you need some respite from this crazy modern world, then pay a visit to the villagers of Thrush Green, you probably won�t want to leave!

Review # 2 was written on 2021-07-29 00:00:00 Enrique Rivera Such a sweet book, Thrush Green is the idyllic community that everyone wishes they could live in or be from. It is a village set in the English countryside of the 1950s in which there are good and bad people, and the bad are punished and the good rewarded. It is May 1st in Thrush Green and its annual carnival has come to town. Whether from the town or the carnival, each individual character is well drawn and lingers in your mind. The beauty of the countryside is vividly depicted too, very lush and blooming. Not all is well with the young or old people, but there is resolution and a feeling of the continuation of life at the end that is bittersweet.
