I've read this several times now over the years, it's an easy read, lovely bit of escapism - mum of 3, newly divorced, starting over in the countryside, plus chickens, my fantasy! (except divorce, obviously, if dh's reading this...). Formula's been done before and since, but I find this engaging and funny, just right for lovely bed time/afternoon/morning reading with a cup of tea, when all the little b*****s darlings are off doing what they do. One of the few novels I can't bring myself to pass on to the charity shop, even after 3 reads!
