If you've ever dreamt of a new life in the country, this highly entertaining and candid account of country living might make you think again... Fresh air, rolling fields, Cath Kidston tea towels and home-baked cake -- isn't that what Martha's new life will be? Apparently not. Having upped sticks and moved her young family from the gritty city to Paradise, she discovers things aren't quite that easy. Collapsing kitchen ceilings; a plague of slugs; coffee mornings with Stepford mums and garden warfare with the neighbours are just a few of the trials. And with her husband away working in London, Martha just can't stop thinking about the sexy builder who's meant to be turning the house into her dream home! Key title / Based on The Country Mole - the sharp, witty and hugely successful Sunday Times column / For anyone who has ever secretly dreamt of living in the country, to those that loathe the idea or have 'been there and worn the t-shirt' / The perfect antidote to all the saccharine novels about Cotswold life / With a gorgeous, eye-catching package, this paperback edition will be the ultimate summer impulse buy / Competition: Wife in the North, Polly Williams, Lucy Cavendish, Fiona Neill
Two summers ago, Martha Mole and family moved from London to start a new life in the country. It didn't go as smoothly as planned. She kept a diary. It should be noted, however, that there may have been times when her imagination got the better of her.
