What a lovely book.
If only I could talk the way Gibbons write, I would be so eternally happy.
This novel doesn't take itself seriously and pokes fun of many classics.
Cold Comfort Farm is going on the list of the fictional places I want to visit the most.

What a simply marvelous book! Such a satisfying ending. In the immortal words of Mary Poppins, it was practically perfect in every way.
It helps a lot if one understands what Gibbons is poking fun at in this satirical novel. I recommend this brilliant review in the June 2006 issue of Slightly Foxed.
