Contemporary Chick Lit
Ghastly new home. Potentially adulterous husband... Not
quite the fresh start in the country she was promised. A fixer-upper in the sticks was the last place city girl Ro
Skews expected to live. But her husband, Marcus, wants it --
and all the arguments are on his side, namely a better life
for Tod, their wonderboy, who has developed social problems
in London. Of course, the five-year-old has never been the
most... conventional child. While Ro (grudgingly) makes a life for herself in stuffy
Chetsley (if you can count reaping the whirlwind of floor
sanding and playing Suburban Lawn Warfare with her sexy
neighbor as a life), Marcus starts spending more nights in
the city with his cell phone switched off. And Tod, whose
fascination with mazes seems to have blossomed into a
full-blown obsession, treads the worrying line between
eccentric and problematic. Ro searches for the right path in a few mazes of her own --
her marriage, motherhood, country customs -- but when she
unearths a shattering secret, more than one truth is
revealed and Ro is left wondering: Is the country any place
to raise a family?
