Picking Up - Softcover
The sparkling novel about the funny side of life in Yorkshire, from the author of TOO MANY GODMOTHERS.If it hadn't been for the dog, Jo Patterson would never have overheard that bizarre snatch of conversation on the grouse moor. A year ago Jo didn't know a grouse from a Rhode Island Rooster. Now she's up to her eyebrows in mud because a day's labour on the shoot will earn her a precious GBP20 and an even more precious few hours of contact with humanity.If she hadn't gone on the shoot she wouldn't have remembered that conversation about security consultants when she discovers that her soon-to-be-ex-husband may have sold their business for much less than it's worth. And if she hadn't remembered the conversation she would never have kicked over the ant's nest of trouble . . .

About the Author:
Kate Fenton was born in Oldham and educated in Cheshire, Manchester and St Hilda's College, Oxford. As a BBC features and documentaries producer she worked for Radio Wales, the World Service and Radio 4. She lives on the North York Moors with her husband, actor Ian Carmichael.
From AudioFile:
Jo Patterson's husband has given her the ultimate gift-a cottage in Yorkshire. However, he's neglected to leave any money in their joint accounts, so she ekes out her living by sewing curtains and beating the bushes for grouse at the castle shoots. If you can make it through the Yorkshire accent that appears sporadically, Jan Francis's uninhibited and enthusiastic reading of the entertaining tale is definitely worth the listening. Each time you return to the tape her ebullient voice catches you up on the shenanigans of Jo's husband and his mistress, the characters upstairs and downstairs in the castle, and the possibility of romance for Jo.
