It‘s super hard to review all three books together, because my enjoyment varied greatly from book one to book three! This had been on my list for a while, since my MIL recommended the series to me. And initially my question was WHY did anyone ever think this would make a good series?!?! This question persisted for me throughout the first book and a half, which read like a mildly interesting description of rural village life in the late 1800s. ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) Very little plot, very little character development—very few characters even to speak of. But by the second half of the second book, Laura begins to emerge as a character, and her thoughts and dreams and observations began to endear me to the book. And the last book was a delight. I don‘t know if I‘d have persisted if it weren‘t for the short chapters & the hilarious daily commentary from the #HashtagBrigade. So, in the end: a pick? 2w

The Scent of Water | Elizabeth Goudge

When I searched for this, it brought up another book with the same title and the subtitle: “Grace for Every Kind of Broken.“ That kind of fits this too. It's a quiet, slightly mystical, very sentimental story in which every character learns how to be a better, more loving person through some kind of grace passing amongst them. A comfortable read right now.

Pretty much ended the way it went all along - random people introduced, short tale about them, a sprinkle of Laura, a 90° tangent taken with the tale, more random people, repeat. ?

Life goes on as charmingly as ever in Thrush Green. Modern life inserts itself with the temporary presence of four members of a rock band, two of whom use drugs, but we only hear about it 2nd or 3rd hand. Major changes are ahead though, with two characters talking about retirement and another no longer able to take care of herself.

How I spent the last day of my summer school holidays. I restrained myself and only borrowed this many books from the book nook. Ha!
