GOSSIP FROM THRUSH GREEN returns readers to the delightful English village, neighbor to Fairacre, for a golden summer. But this sleepy, pristine setting conceals a flurry of activity amongst the villagers. Rumor has it that Mr. Venables is considering retirement just as the village's teacher is about to make an important decision. Molly Curdle prepares for a new baby. The kindly vicar, Charles Henstock, works on his sermon -- quite unaware of the disaster that will overtake him. However, there is never any doubt that all will end well in this very English village.

Reading about this village is like taking a giant step back into the past. Although these books take place in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, one feels encased in a timeless, idyllic vacuum. The gossip in the title is mostly light hearted discussion between neighbours. One of my favourites was a discourse on the importance of afternoon tea.
I always enjoy my time spent in Thrush Green, but this book appears to be setting the readers up for changes that are going to come in future books, and although it is sad to read of some moving away and others facing health concerns one can take comfort in the fact that these people always look out for each other’s best interests.
