City Folk Runs Amok in the Rural Countryside...

It takes a while to get into the story as the style of writing is wordy and dense. The authors favors lengthy description of minute details which I felt was wholly unnecessary and tedious. Leaves you wondering why can't the author just can't get into the crux of the story. Otherwise, a good take on tackling romance about a hip girl in a highly demanding PR job meets once-upon-a-time investment banker turned organic farmer set against the current agricultural reforms taking place in England. The author takes a dig at the save the wildlife movement pitched against the more mundane bread and butter issues of farmers in rural Suffolk trying hard to survive against the ever evolving British agricultural mishaps that happened in the past and present. The subtle humour surfaces when the city folk thought that they had landed in a country hotel for a long weekend away from London but turned out otherwise and that's where the fun starts!
