Product Description

Review

‘It’s lovely. It’s delightful. It’s funny and observant and truthful... I really, really liked it’ (Philip Pullman )

‘She writes wonderfully well. Her style is restrained and supremely confident , pruned of unnecessary detail and sparkling with mordant wit.... Pacy and witty, Highmore’s take on the country comedy is as fresh, crisp and delicious as a new organic carrot. An extremely promising debut’ (Express )

‘I have read COUNTRY LOVING and enjoyed it. I like her totally unsentimental angle on country living, and the eccentric and quirky characters... It will do well’ (Rosamunde Pilcher )

‘Julie Highmore’s warm-hearted novel COUNTRY LOVING, about moving to the country, revels in the hazards of the rural life as well as its seductive attractions’ (Publishing News )

‘Funny, original and dazzlingly assured. I adored everything about this excellent book’ (Jill Mansell )

‘So enjoyable... It’s a lovely read’ (Catherine Alliott )

5.0 out of 5 stars I really enjoyed this book. It's hilarious!, 7 May 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Country Loving (Hardcover)

A very funny and a perceptive caricature of country village life. Julie Highmore is to British manners what Maupin is to San Francisco culture. She might have called it "Tales of the Village". I'm looking forward to a sequel.

5.0 out of 5 stars I highly recomment this book!, 9 Jun 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Country Loving (Hardcover)

A thoroughly enjoyable read. I defie anyone not to recognise something they may have said, a thought they may have had or even a type of person they have known, somewhere in this entertaining book. The main focus of the book is the story and it gallops along - at the same time clear images of location and personality are interwoven seamlessly. I look forward to reading more from this first time author and recommend that you buy the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly funny, captivating, and true., 20 May 2002

hghwem@supanet.com (Shropshire) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Country Loving (Hardcover)

A funny, but accurate, reflection of many real life situations when town meets country.
Couldn't put it down until I came to the end.

One senses a deep store of writing stock in this very contemporary author.

I look forward to the next book.
