Product Description
Synopsis
Oliver Hardcastle scrapes an existence as an organic farmer. Miranda Marlow is a high-earning international town-planner. They may live in the same country but their values and lifestyles are so far apart they could have come from different solar systems. All they have in common is a string of disastrous relationships. Little wonder they have never met. Until one weekend in Suffolk when Miranda and her mother Clare, recently appointed Under-Secretary for Agriculture, are directed to the Manor believing it to be a country house hotel. It is in fact the private home of Ollie's mother, Bel Hardcastle, and a constant drain on her dwindling inheritance. Ollie immediately sees the opportunity to have a litlte fun and make a bit of money - and the Marlows' luxury weekend turns into three days of hell at Manor House Hotel. Disasters strike, sparks fly and Miranda and Ollie loathe each other with something very close to passion...

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was full of great and witty observations about life and attitudes towards the countryside today. Wheather your heart is in the country or you are a confirmed urbanite you will find characters to be amused by and empathise with. A funny tale with a bittersweet undercurrent.

City Folk Runs Amok in the Rural Countryside...
2 Dec 2005
Format:Paperback
It takes a while to get into the story as the style of writing is wordy and dense. The authors favors lengthy description of minute details which I felt was wholly unnecessary and tedious. Leaves you wondering why can't the author just can't get into the crux of the story.
Otherwise, a good take on tackling romance about a hip girl in a highly demanding PR job meets once-upon-a-time investment banker turned organic farmer set against the current agricultural reforms taking place in England.
The author takes a dig at the save the wildlife movement pitched against the more mundane bread and butter issues of farmers in rural Suffolk trying hard to survive against the ever evolving British agricultural mishaps that happened in the past and present.
The subtle humour surfaces when the city folk thought that they had landed in a country hotel for a long weekend away from London but turned out otherwise and that's where the fun starts!
