Unlike the movie of the same name, this book is the funniest page-turner that I've purchased in a long time. The story takes place in the English countryside where a widow finds herself penniless but with a huge pile of bills left by her husband. She is about to loose her house when she comes up with a plan along with her gardener, to grow pot in her greenhouse. She has a 'greenthumb' and therefore has no problem cultivating the 'stuff.' The book is about all the ups and downs as she grows it, tries to keep it hidden, tries to sell it and many other very funny events. The book has a 'twister' ending which would be a spoiler if I told you so I won't. I fully recommend this very comical account of a granny with money problems and the delightful town she lives in with all of it's very amusing characters.
