Hens Dancing - Raffaella Barker
With the Mumsnet
Book Club already thriving, we thought it about time we started reviewing grown up books and for this category we're looking for books published in the last year or so that are easy reads, something uplifting to take to a sunny beach, or to pick up in a quiet moment at home (should you be lucky enough to have one of those). At some point when we've reached a critical mass we'll be handing out a dazzling literary award to the winning book (watch out Mr Booker) so please add as many reviews as you like and feel free to comment on other folks' choices. As ever, if you have any suggestions for new categories you'd like to see, please send them over to contactus@mumsnet.com.

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!
