Lie of the Land by Amanda Craig

Like many people now, Quentin and Lottie Bredin can't afford to divorce and can't afford to live in London.  So they decide to downsize and move their family to Devon.  A darkly harsh black comedy, of middle class issues of money and marriage.  The book delves into the issues of zero hour contracts, infidelity and relationships.

Having said that this book club didn't really like the book, people found it lecturing, excructiating and in places ludicrous.  

Marks out of 10 - between 1 & 5
