Summary: Too Many Characters, Too Much of the "F" word
Review: This book sounded promising, but after about 20 pages and the upteenth instance of variations on the "F" word, I gave up. I couldn't keep the characters straight, and I don't think it's just me. If you read the book description on amazon or the inside cover description in the book, Emmy's daughter is listed as "Lila," whereas Lila is really her friends' daughter. Emmy's daughter is named Maia. If even the blurb writer can't keep them straight, how can the average reader?

Summary: Engaging British Read
Review: This is a lovely book that tells the story of several families living communaly in Cornwall, England. The adults and children's stories take turns from chapter to chapter, yet you feel as if you are getting to know each character very well. This book will not change your life, but it will allow you to escape into their world for awhile. I also enjoyed the "British-isms"
