A group of townie families hope to make a go of semi-communal farming and the story is told by two children, Amy & Lan. Inevitably their ideals and best intentions prove hard to fulfill and real life, human nature, not to mention the neighbours all get in the way. I found Amy & Lan's level of emotional maturity hard to believe sometimes but it's charming, entertaining and full of recognisable traits of contemporary British life.
