After the death of Emily Davis, school teacher and well-loved member of the local community, many of those who knew her cast their minds back to days past and to their memories of Emily.

Dolly Clare mourns her loss deeply but remembers with joy and warmth the long friendship they shared. She is joined in her reminiscences by Jane Draper, who started her teaching career under Emily’s guidance, and by those further afield - from London to America. This is both a poignant story of loss and a celebration of life, rich with affection.

This book was a pleasure to listen to being read. Gwen Watford’s reading skills brought just the respect and relaxing atmosphere this book required. As I listened to the memories Miss Read chose to have people remember of Emily Davis, and her effect on their lives I recalled the many Emily Davis’s of my life. This quiet book made me reflect on my life and realize that when we die, we will be remembered. How, we are remembered will depend on how we live our lives now.
This is a book I will listen to many times.

A chance to listen to someone else’s memories and recapture your own.

Seeing the world of Fairacre through Emily’s eyes, as told by former pupils, colleagues, friends and even Edgar, once her fiancé, enriched my understanding of so many characters in the series.
Wonderful narration, I think she is my favourite reader.
