Format:Paperback
I originaly discovered Katie Fforde after buying Highland Fling and reading it in one go. I couldn't wait to read more. Katie Fford writes characters that are both lovable and belivable, they suffer their trials and tribulations just like everyone else. Her heroines are normal they have lumps and bumps and aren't all under the age of 30.Her hero's are human and come with baggage in this case a stately home and a dodgey car.I hope that if she ever sells a novel to Hollywood they won't destroy it like they did with The Beach and Animal Attraction. Stately Pursuits is a wonderfull feel good novel and I heartly recomended it to anyone that like a bit of old fashioned romance with plenty of humour

Format:Paperback
This mirrors her other books both in the predictability of the plot and the characters, however, the story trips along and you can not help getting embroiled in the yarn. Very 'pretty' settings and a good selection of people to irritate the reader. I love them all and hate myself for doing so! Good bathtime reading!

Format:Paperback
This is one of the first three of Fforde's books I have read and my favorite by far.
I felt that the story was in the realm of possibility - the hero wasn't Prince Charming, but yet you still wanted he and our heroine to get together in the end.
A fun, light read, definitely recommended!

Good gossip
A really fun book, read in 2 sittings when all the kids had gone to bed. It's like sitting down with a close friend and having a really good gossip. Great fun.

Exellent Book!
I have bought all of Katie Fforde's books and as usual her book was outstanding and the characters felt almost real! If you want a funny, romantic and good book buy this one.
