Practically Perfect

PRACTICALLY PERFECT: Katie Fforde: St. Martin’s Press: Fiction: 373 pages

When Anna purchases and begins to renovate a tiny cottage in the Cotswolds, she becomes friends with her neighbor Chloe and agrees to adopt a greyhound that Chloe cannot keep herself. In her work with her new home and new pet, Anna soon finds herself at odds with Rob Hunter, the local greyhound rehoming agent and (to make matters worse) the historic homes inspector charged with ensuring that Anna’s property is restored correctly. Slower than some of Fforde’s better works, this is an easy and mostly clean summer read.
