Description

A sparkling comedy of rural life, high and low. Venetia Summers' life is turned upside down when her boyfriend is sent to the Brazilian jungle, leaving her alone in Norfolk with three misbehaving children and a menagerie of unexpected challenges. As chaos reigns at home, Venetia's life becomes increasingly complicated by a bad-mouthed parrot, a burgeoning fashion career designing eccentric cardigans, and her brother's outrageous wedding. With emails languishing unanswered, phone lines cut out, and long-distance relationships proving both vexing and bewildering, life takes some very unexpected turns. This witty and engaging novel explores the ups and downs of rural life, love, and family, with a cast of characters that will quickly win your affection.
