There are three people in Imogene Cameron's marriage - herself, her husband Alex, and their son Rufus - But all that is about to change... When the Camerons hit dire financial straits they're forced to leave London and accept Eleanor Latimer's offer of a rent-free cottage on her country estate. Ordinarily, a fice home in the country is not to be snified at but, as Eleanor is Alert beautiful and flirtatious ex, Imogen is very sniffy indeed. And with good reason. Once installed in Shepherd's Cottage, Imogens life is suddenly full to bursting with surly locals, psychotic chickens, a maddening (if handsome) headmaster, mountains of manure, visits from the infuriatingly bossy vet, and Eleanor, who seems to be glued to Alex's side. As far as Imogens concerned, twos a marriage, three's a family and this... well, this is just silly, someone's got to go. The question is who?
