3.0 out of 5 stars Eleven babies fructuating in her womb, 15 Sep 2009
By E. Shaw "Kokoschka's_cat" (Leeds, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Mammoth Cheese (Paperback)
There is hard-working Margaret who has the upkeep of the dairy farm to think about; her daughter Polly, in love with her cynical and dangerous history teacher. Then there is August, who has been in love with Margaret ever since he first saw her, and is the shy, retiring son of the local pastor, Leland Vaughn. Leland has a lot on his mind since he has just counselled Manda and Jake that they should go ahead and have the eleven babies fructuating in Manda's womb since they sent for some dubious fertility drugs from an unnamed eastern European nation.

How the giant cheese comes about is in pursuit of Margaret's passion for Adams Brooke, a presidential candidate who stands for "the family" and promises to give an amnesty to all small farmers whose familial debts, built up over their family lifetime, are about to bury them in penury.

Amusing and poignant by turns, it gradually turns a bit weepie-like but since the premises are so latently comic it's a little hard to take seriously. Nevertheless, most things do come good for the righteous in the end. Predictable, but a good read nonetheless.
