BOOK DESCRIPTION:

"Twentysomething Lizzy Walter is living the good life, working in London at a film-production company and visiting her family's manor in the country whenever she wants a change. Until, still stung over her boyfriend's betrayal, she arrives home for Christmas with her sister Jess and cousin Tom to discover that Keeper House must be sold to pay her adored, but unreliable, Uncle Mike's debts. Her family seems to have accepted the loss of their ancestral home, but she is in denial, so that while they are planning her aunt Chin's wedding and packing up the house, she sequesters herself in her London apartment and broods, using sex as a panacea but refusing to commit to any relationships."

I didn't think I'd enjoy this book as much as I did. I really do like novels about English country life, with all those old houses, debts, the obligatory leaking roof, etc. Then there's the Stiff Upper Lip of the landowners to boot.

I found this very entertaining; the author must have been doing something right, because I recall getting very pissed off at a certain relative for doing certain things. I don't always get an indignant feeling about what goes on in a book, but I did this time! I was almost sorry to see it all end.
