This book is basically a tale of in-laws from Hell. I loved the spunky little bride from the Bush (Gladys), and I also loved that Alfred was essentially one of those “I LOVE MY WIFE” characters. Delighted that it ends on a happy note; it really made me smile.
This book is nothing to write home about. It starts as a mildly humorous

An interesting and easy to read story about an Australian bride of an upperclass Englishman and the problems both she and her in-laws have adjusting to each other.
