Hens Dancing Summary
| When Venetia Summers abandoned her lively London life for marriage and a move out of town, it seemed that her future was all set. But a decade later her husband walks out, and suddenly she's a single mother of three with no particular skills, living in the sticks, calling upon all her wit and resourcefulness to hold together her newly lopsided family. Hens Dancing follows Venetia's life for the next year as she wages everyday battles -- the children are temperamental, the house and garden are badly in need of repair, the bathroom renovation is a nightmare, and there's never enough money. But there are consolations: the kaleidoscope loveliness of the Norfolk seasons, a houseful of animals, nighttime picnics, the regal serenity of Venetia's baby daughter -- called simply the Beauty -- and a family closeness that has hitherto escaped them. Like Bridget Jones's Diary, this novel has the word-of-mouth appeal of a truly funny, intelligently told story that takes you deep into someone else's life. |
