A wickedly witty tale of modern manners, happily suggesting that PC is not the only way to be. Dr Louise Case has the right career, the right country cottage and a commitment-free relationship with a fellow academic. According to contemporary codes, it's all very correct - except that Louise begins to suspect that it's far from perfect. Then along comes Rose, eighty if she's a day, who effortlessly disrupts everything. Soon both campus and cottage are in chaos, while the old lady commences to set her own house - a decrepit old van - in order. And this includes an unthinkably traditional role for Louise...… (mere)

I have read most of Gregory's books and If this had been my first I don't think I would have bothered to buy a second. I thought that the gentle lampooning of feminist academic life was leading up to something. It doesn't, and the tacked-on romance is implausible as it comes out of nowhere. Character development is virtually non-existent and I found the "heroine" rather unpleasant. The only interesting character was Rosie, and she made too-short and infrequent appearances effectively as a 'deus ex machina'. (

First I liked it, then there was a time I thought it cliché.
When I re-read it more recently, I could appreciate the humour and self-irony. Of course it is still a stereotyped feel-good-happy-ending story, but a nice read when you are mature enough to take that with mental distance just as fiction... (

I picked this book up in a book exchange in a pub and didn't realise immediately that it was THAT Phillipa Gregory. This was written before her Tudor series which got me hooked on this writer. This is not an historical novel, but I do sense that the characters are written from personal experience. Underlining the easy going main story is women's politics and the extremes people will go to. I didn't expect much from the title and blurb on the back, but was pleasantly surprised. This passed the time. (

A bit of a fluffy read, but good enough for a Friday commute home.
Louise is a feminist entangled in a long affair with her best friend's husband. She is trying to write a feminist critique of Lawrence's "the virgin and the gypsy", but is distracted by the woman who moves into her orchard in her smelly blue van. (

An enjoyable read, but not one of her best. (
