Tongue in Cheek

By Fiona Walker

Book Overview

From the very first day that they move to the Oddlode Valley, it's inevitable that young teacher Mo Stillitoe, recently separated socialite Diana Lampeter and cool, retired dressage diva Anke Brakespear will find their lives entangled. Despite their differing generations and backgrounds, the women are on a relocation collision course. As inept removal men deliver furniture - and even horses - to the wrong houses, other moves are being made . . . Mo's bad boy lover takes Diana's eye, Anke's flirtatious husband immediately suggests Mo hop into bed with him - and Diana's local heart-throb brother comes joyfully face to face with the Danish ice-maiden he posted on his wall as a teenager. As a long, hot Indian summer burns its embers into winter, the newcomers settle into their beautiful frost-hugged surroundings, generating enough heat to melt every heart in Oddlode. New passions ignite and old flames are fanned amid the honeyed villages, enchanted gardens, haunted parkland and raucous country social life. The heat is on, and sparks fly - but is this just a flash in the pan or is somebody fuelling the fire?

Page turner!

This book had a bit of everything! It was funny, sad, poingnant and realistic. Fiona Walker has created some wonderful characters and quite an intricate story line. I did not want this book to end.

GREAT

I dont know if i read the same book as the women above, but i think they've got it totally wrong. I loved this book and read all 600 odd pages in about 2 days. There were loads of characters but most of them were already covered in the previous lodes chronicles book 'Lots of Love' and if you would have read that first, like i did, then you would have been pleased with all the extra characters as it let you know how they are getting on now! I LOVED the book and cannot wait to read the third lodes chronicles Four Play. Well done Fiona, i have read all of your work so far as you haven't let me down yet. I absolutely love your books!!!!!
