[Yvonne · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a fun little read about living in a moldering English country house in the 1980s and trying to make ends meet by selling the eccentric family collection of, you guessed it, pots. Not quite up to the standard of "I Capture the Castle" but with grown up characters and funny dialog. Great for a Sunday after a big breakfast.

[Michele · Rating 5 out of 5]

Funny book set in England, similar to chick lit but the middle-aged variety. About a family trying to hold things together in a crumbling historic home, fighting the bank, their creditors and worst of all, his mother.

[Julia]

Not bad. However, the epilogue had some things in it that contradicted previous material.
