A Country Escape- Katie Fforde 5*
I always look forward to a Katie Fforde book. Even before I have read the first page
there is the anticipation of that feel good factor along with a wonderful story line,
larger than life characters and a smile along the way. This one didn’t disappoint me
in any of those aspects. Fran lives in London working as a chef. She vaguely
remembers as a child going to a farm and seeing the cows. She gets a letter from a
solicitor saying that a distant relative has gone into a care home and that she is to
try and run the farm for a year and then might inherit it. How is a chef going to run
a farm when she hasn’t a clue where to start? And who is the neighbour that the
relative hates so much? Brilliantly written from the word go. Wonderful characters
that you take to (or not in one case!) and scenes that you can easily picture.
Whether you live in London or rurality, this book will bring a smile.
A thoroughly enjoyable read.
