I had no idea this novel was a sequel to 'Hens Dancing' until today when I went to write a review for Amazon. I have never read any of her books before, but will probably look out for more now.
It is written in diary form over a period of six months by the heroine eccentric Venetia whose life appears to be in a state of permanent chaos. She has no control over her three children Giles 11, Felix 9 and The Beauty 3 (yes really). To a great extent the children have learnt to look after themselves, but not without getting into some interesting scrapes! The little girl is precocious but the comments she comes out with will make you laugh I am sure. Some of the incidences are far from funny though, such as the children’s behaviour at times and the way the animals get treated. Unless of course you have a warped sense of humour or, maybe I am being too prim?
This is a book that will make you laugh at times though I am sure. Perfect read for Summertime.
