Publisher's Notes
First Line: "'I'm sorry,' Clementine whispered to Mr Scott, 'but I never was very good at carpentry.'"
Industry Reviews "[A] whimsical, light-hearted treatise on both the courage to overcome modern anxiety...and the metamorphosis of modest maiden to thoroughly modern heroine....Sly humor and biting repartee...create an eminently readable novel, one that is at once enjoyably light, and nourishing." Boston Book Review - Andria Spencer (01/19/1998)
"In this light, endearing story of love and modern anxiety, second-novelist Cobbold people an English village with characters worth getting to know....Full of fun and wit and keen insight--an ideal fireside read." Lescroart
