The Caxley Chronicles two-book series--The Market Square and The Howards of Caxley--are probably now my favorite books of the many I've read by Dora Jessie Saint, otherwise known as Miss Read. There is more depth here, with themes of love, loss, joy, failure, betrayal, forgiveness, duty, selfishness, humility, sacrifice...you get the picture. At the same time, Miss Read's gentle and quirky sense of humor is still at work, which adds authenticity and a lighter tone. The author's heart and soul apparently went into creating the captivating story of these two families and their interactions through several generations. Very highly recommended!
