Farm Fatale: A Comedy of Country Manors

A pretty funny book - a good quick weekend read when you've got nothing else to do. A bright young London couple goes off to the country and find themselves shocked by the conditions, the lifestyle and of course the people they meet. Definitely a classic fish-out-of-water tale, the main characters of Rosie and Mark don't handle change well and struggle to keep the relationship going in their "charming cottage." Enter a gruff and studly local farmer, reclusive pop star, former actress with delusions of grandeur and the requisite cast of local loons (like a postman who can't control his love of gossip) and it's a fun, light-hearted read. Fans of the lighter British humor should enjoy it.
