What comes over are the strong bonds between the family, which is a rare pleasure to savour these days. How often recently have you read about all the family sitting down to watch a favourite soap together (even if Roxi, the girl-pig, is taking up all the room on the sofa)? Reading the book, I was struck by how much understanding the self-effacing Matt Whyman has of himself and his family. It makes for a narrator very much in command of his story.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending this book. We also have a review of [[Goldstrike by Matt Whyman]].
If you like family plus animals stories, then you might enjoy [[My Animals and Other Family by Julia Blackburn]] or [[Twenty Chickens for a Saddle by Robyn Scott]]. Animal lovers might not have yet met [[An Otter on the Aga by Rex Harper]] or [[An Eagle in the Airing Cupboard by Rex Harper|An Eagle in the Airing Cupboard]] by the sam same author. If you enjoyed the humorous tone, then take a peek at the Bookbag reviews. of [[Allotted Time: Two Blokes, One Shed, No Idea by Robin Shelton]] or [[Eat, Pray, Eat by Michael Booth]].
