Customer comments on this selection.
 Ridiculously Funny
Those with a sense for the absurd will adore this book. Venetia the heroine of this fractured tale begins the story married to the loathsome, self absorbed, Charles. Soon Charles leaves her to shack up with "the poison dwarf" Helena. Venetia is left with a rather tumble down house, two scruffy little boys and "the beauty", her new born daughter. How she survives this first year is hilariously expounded upon in diary entries.
 Really Enjoyed It!
Loved the book and fell in love with the family. I couldn't put it down till I finished it. Can't wait to read the sequel!
Delightful!
I love this book! The characters are delightful and the story is engaging. Touching and funny without being sentimental and mushy. A must for moms of young children and anyone who dreams of life in the English countryside.
Hens Dancing
I loved this book - almost a modern day Nancy Mitford style. Warm and amusing without bitterness. Great characters. I heartily reccommend it for those looking for a light read with a precise and edgy british writing style.
Wonderful book. Read, relax & enjoy!
I read both Hens Dancing and Summertime & enjoyed them immensely. I love this type of fun "women's fiction" book. The book is in diary form and follows Venetia through a year of her life as an eccentric single mother of three. The setting is small town/rural outside of London. She is an artistic type character who can't seem to ever get herself as together and organized as all the other mothers at her childrens' school. The house is never clean, the laundry is never done, her love of gardening never seems to result in a beautiful garden, and random pets & other animals are always creating havoc. It was great fun! I highly recommend this book as well as the sequel, Summertime.
