It's about a farming family struggling to keep their farm after the oh so early death of their skirt-chasing father. Well, the eldest son is mostly thinking about motorcycles and women rather than farming - although he he's a better tractor driver than his brother. The brother is a shy 30-something virgin, the sister is a typical teenager sneaking out in the middle of the night, the mother is being eyed up by the vet while the grandmother is the only one with a sex life. Granny decides to give the boys an ultimatum, they'll either find themselves a wife (each, obviously) before the year is up or she'll sell the farm and their [nasty] neighbours are trying to buy their land to start a stud so they can get into one of the glossy country home magazines...
Yup, there you have it. Struggling friendly village people against the nasty city-cum-country-folks-with-shed loads-of-money. How on earth will they ever find a way out? *sarcasm*
Could have been fun. Could have been charming with the country life etc. but there's no life in the characters and if they're built on real life events - well, then I'm happy not to know such horrifically dull and unimaginative people!
I looked it up on amazon.com and was surprised with the voting as it got 5 stars (!?) but then I noticed that only 7 people had voted... You really should be able to return books if they are of "unsatisfactory quality"!
Don't bother.
