The man at the helm
14.99 €
After her parents divorced, Lizzie, her older sister, younger brother and labrador Debbie were forced to move from a luxurious London mansion to a crooked country house. There are meadows, open spaces and beauty all around, except that the neighbors are gloomy, no one is cooking, the washing machine has rebelled, and her mother is breathlessly writing plays. Lizzie and her sister, worried that sooner or later they will be placed in an orphanage, and her mother will be left alone with her plays, decide to take care of the future on themselves. And first of all it is necessary to decide on the "man at the helm", or simply with a man in the house. In the early 1970s, a single mother, albeit from an aristocratic family, in a penny do not put, and until the house is not a "man at the helm", life will not improve. So begins a grand campaign to select suitable candidates. A witty, unrestrainedly funny novel, which reminds at once and "The Diaries of Adrian Maule" by Sue Townsend, and "Jeeves and Wooster" by P. G. Woodhouse.
