I was at Heathrow on January 7th and purchased a book from one of the WHSmith stores, was thoroughly enjoying it and left the book in New York and now can't remember the name of it. I hope you can help?
It is about a man who owns his own succesful business and the family live in a very large UK country house with acres of land. They have 3, maybe four, children two sons, one of which works for his Dad and is a bit of an embarrasment.
On the land of their large country estate is an old run down house that an old man owns, the old man promised country house owner he could have first refusal when he dies. Old man dies and a supermarket chain owner buys and renovates the small house, then the saga starts and ..... I left New York and the book there too.
Please can someone help? I hope if nothing else, this is the weirdest email you've received this week
I am sure the book cover was white and I keep remembering the name Mark. ? that being the author.
