If you've ever dreamt of a new life in the country, this highly entertaining and candid account of country living might make you think again... Fresh air, rolling fields, Cath Kidston tea towels and home-baked cake - isn't that what Martha's new life will be? Apparently not. Having upped sticks and moved her young family from the gritty city to Paradise, she discovers things aren't quite that easy. Collapsing kitchen ceilings; a plague of slugs; coffee mornings with Stepford mums and garden warfare with the neighbours are just a few of the trials. And with her husband away working in London, Martha just can't stop thinking about the sexy builder who's meant to be turning the house into her dream home...… (plus d'informations)

The book was a pleasant enough read. The basic story line is that a woman gets he dream and moves to the countryside from central london, only to hate it and move back.
strangly the book was fine, what annoyed me was some undelying life issues. everyone has affairs, you should not wory about them and just carry on as normal. Rural women are child obsessed idiots, even if they have been inteligent before children. The last which upset me the most was that it was better to live in the city, the people were better there.
I may not bother with Daisy again.

See my review at http://talesfromfoxglovecottage.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/book-round-up.html

"Desperate Diary is the tale of a middle-class London mum who moves her family to the countryside, only to discover that life there isn't the vision of 'Cath Kidston tea towels and home-baked cake' that she had expected. Hilarity (supposedly) ensues. Fairly basic writing, a few slightly amusing moments and not heavy on plot, this is a microwave-meal of a book: it fills a hole, but........" ( )

This was a fun, easy read. The humor appeals to me and it rings true (if maybe a little exaggerated) Certainly can empathise with Martha..particularly the school gate scenarios. If you are thinking of moving to the country (which i have done) read this first :) ( )
