When it all went to custard

not applicable

Danielle Hawkins ; read by Jessica Grace Smith

I wasn't enjoying the afternoon of 23 February even before I learnt that my husband was having an affair. The news of her husband's infidelity comes as a nasty shock to Jenny Reynolds, part-time building control officer and full-time mother, even though, to her surprise and embarrassment, her first reaction is relief, not anguish. What really hurts is her children's unhappiness at the breakup, and the growing realisation that, alone, she may lose the family farm. This is the story of the year after Jenny's old life falls apart; of family and farming, pet lambs and geriatric dogs, choko-bearing tenants and Springsteen-esque neighbours. And of, just perhaps, a second chance at happiness
