A humorous memoir covering ten hilarious years in which the author discovered exactly what it takes to be a farmer.
The story takes place on a small African farm in the 1980s. The author and her family of city slickers move to the country, only to be plunged headlong into the madness, muck and mire of pastoral bliss. Through their hilarious mistakes and doubtful triumphs, a menagerie of eccentric animals weave an absurd thread of magic through the tale. From dippy dogs to sneaky swine and dotty ducklings to belligerent bulls, every page will take you on an unforgettable journey into near lunacy.
