Brit Wit at it's best!

I bought this book at a used book sale for $1...I didn't have high hopes for it, and it actually languished at the bottom of my pile from the sale for quite a while. But once I started it, I literally couldn't put it down, even though it was a pretty hefty book! The main character, Iona, is so true-to-life. This story is specifically about a group of friends who restore and reopen their local pub, but it's really about what life is like with your friends and loves when you are in your late twenties. Being 29, I found it extremely pertinent and very real! The description of one character's emotional upheaval was so well crafted that I felt it deep within me. The humor is so British and therefore very witty. This book has something for everyone...gastronomic delights, delicious sex, love, fights, friendship, humor, and wonderful characters. I highly recommend it!
