An academic couple who bought a Tutoring College as a financial venture have a house they can't sell, two mortgages, mounting debts, and a miserable teenage daughter who didn't want to move and whose cat has had to be given away. With this recipe for disaster, Kinsella (writing under her real name of Madeleine Wickham) has produced, with wit and wisdom, a light but most worthwhile novel. Lovely read for holidays and in the bath.
