'A joy to read' Amanda Craig 'Shades of Cold Comfort
Farm...Charming' Guardian English Animals is a subversive, wry
debut that fans of Marina Lewycka's A Short History of Tractors in
Ukrainian will love. When Mirka gets a job in a country house in
rural England, she has no idea of the struggle she faces to make
sense of a very English couple, and a way of life that is entirely
alien to her. Richard and Sophie are chaotic, drunken, frequently
outrageous but also warm, generous and kind to Mirka, despite their
argumentative and turbulent marriage. Mirka is swiftly commandeered
by Richard for his latest money-making enterprise, taxidermy, and
soon surpasses him in skill. After a traumatic break two years ago
with her family in Slovakia, Mirka finds to her surprise that she
is happy at Fairmont Hall. But when she tells Sophie that she is
gay, everything she values is put in danger and she must learn the
hard way what she really believes in.
