Description

Cassandra White is a woman on a mission. Her Lakeland farm may be falling apart, but at least she's escaped the madness of modern life. But when her valley is invaded by bankers buying up second homes, she's determined to put up a fight. What begins as a hare-brained scheme with a few unruly locals soon has the whole community taking up arms - and, before she knows it, Cassandra's leading a revolution...

Reviews
'An absolute knock-out - had me laughing again and again and then feeling very moved at the end. Such a stylish performance: an iron fist in a velvet glove' Chris Cleave. * Chris Cleave *
'Laugh? I nearly exploded reading Kavenna's knock-out satire on alternative lifestyle ... This book is just the job for any city slicker craving the good life' Daily Mail. * Daily Mail *
'Hugely - gigantically - enjoyable ... One of the most entertaining, fluent and readable novelists around' Observer. * Observer *
'Dark and very funny satire on second-home owners' Observer. * Observer *
'A terrific book-group choice ... Playful, inventive and very much of its time' Cressida Connolly, Spectator. * Spectator *
'Sharp, neat, well written and darkly comic' Seven magazine (Sunday Telegraph). * Sunday Telegraph *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
