A London couple cope financially with divorce by decamping, with children, to Devon. There are pluses and minuses as they find different ways to integrate with this new way of life which turns out to combine delight and nightmare in equal measure. Devon is certainly not a blank sheet. Funny and full of insights into both rural and city life, a gripping narrative races to a dramatic climax and some partial resolutions. Left me wanting to read more by this novelist.
