|summary=A couple of Londoners move to the country but life there is more oppressive than they thought it would be. A bit dark and a bit funny. But only a bit.

}}

Richard, an Ad man, and Sarah, a city lawyer meet, get married, and decide to leave London behind for an idyllic country life instead. He’ll do some drawing, maybe look into illustrating. She’ll do voluntary work. They will start to Enjoy Life a bit more. They will become Better People. They will be the envy of all their friends still toiling away in the big smoke.

I'd quite like to read a book about someone doing the reverse of these two, a proper country mouse moving to the city. In the meantime, though, [[Whatever It Takes by Adele Parks]] gives another perspective on leaving London for pastures new.
