Living Dangerously

Background
This book was published in 1995 and was the first novel that Katie Fforde wrote after she had her third child, Briony.

‘Living Dangerously’ is a deliciously funny look at rural life, with an array of hilariously depicted characters and a heroine with more than her fair share of biting wit and innocent charm.

Plot
Polly Cameron is happy being thirty-five and celibate, living in a small Cotswold town with a possessive cat for company and a Rayburn for comfort. After all, a relationship would only complicate things …

But Polly’s life is already complicated. In addition to her job in the Whole Nut café and her part in the ‘Save Our High Street’ campaign, there’s her pottery career to get off the ground. Not to mention dodging the efforts everyone to find her a husband …
