The younger of two sisters searching for a partner for their mother narrates their efforts. Both knowing and naïve, as children are, she shows you not only the often hilarious situations which arise but also village life. You enjoy seeing what she and her sister see - and more. The narrator's adult perspective sometimes gives a sadder, more serious edge to things but this is essentially a highly individual and very funny novel which keeps you reading.
