The Bird in the Tree by Elizabeth Goudge

8Jan. Kindle.

Usually I reread this more often. It is a very, very nice book without being cloying. Yes, I was thinking of the Jan Karon book that we will be discussing at book club this month. Maybe cloying is a bit strong - but not much. I suppose that a weakness in Goudge is the idealization of children. Even the brats are rather idealized. Still, I can't help liking the people and the descriptions of the setting make me want to go there, although I am not fond of damp climates at all.
