Contemporary Chick Lit
Is it better to forgive and forget, or should you just get
even? Is it possible to live in the country and not lose
your mind completely? Do chickens really make good pets? And
what exactly is a hardy perennial? Alice Mayhew, part-time architect and full-time mother to
Alfie, is to gardening what Alan Titchmarsh is to deep-sea
fishing. So finding she’s been volunteered to design a new
garden for the village comes as a bit of a shock, because
apart from anything else she’s far too busy trying to
convince Alfie that wearing green trousers doesn’t make you
Peter Pan, and that flying is best left to the experts. Molly O’Brien is finding it hard enough coping with Lily
(age four and likes washing up) and Matt (age 32 and
doesn’t) before she discovers she’s pregnant. And then
there’s Lola Barker, who causes havoc wherever she goes, and
brings a whole new meaning to the word high-maintenance. Toddlers, jelly, bad behavior, romance, and gardening tips
all loom large in this hilarious and heartbreaking new novel
that turns prejudices and assumptions upside down with humor
and passion, telling it like it really is.
