Insightful, funny, absorbing Clare's tales of family life in the country are original yet totally recognisable. Very funny! Clare's brilliant, funny, emotional stories of family life in the Cotswolds are what first prompted me to send a fan letter many years ago, telling her how much I loved her writing - and now here are even more of them, all gathered together in one volume. Sheer bliss! Clare Mackintosh is the bestselling author of psychological thrillers full of dark and menacing twists, turns and surprise shocks. Here, in a collection of columns from Cotswold Life magazine, the villains are head lice on the scalps of her three children and the red mites that besiege her chickens . . . The gentle, wry humour has genuinely laugh-out-loud moments . . . Her columns are heartfelt and poignant, adding emotional depth to breezy, blithe accounts - Sunday Express
