We'll See the Cuckoo Book
'This is a book about ordinary people getting the maximum fun out of ordinary things' - Jean Brown. Jean Brown's hillside farm could have come straight from the pages of a Herriot novel. She holds the reader spellbound with this saga of a warm and loving family struggling to survive the extreme hardships of farming in the wilds of Yorkshire. This book's theme is that life is never ordinary; it's a miracle from first to last. Year after year, the indomitable, hard-working Brown family live through the long, lean months of winter, the end of which is marked for them by the arrival of the cuckoo, confirmation that they have made it to a new spring. What cannot be found in these pages, however, is self-pity Every success (and there are many) is celebrated; every challenge met with determination and humour - a cup-half-full attitude - and it is impossible not to care about these extraordinary people, and not to be affected by their varying fortunes. Now well past retirement age, the Brown sisters still work Currer Laithe, which also warmly welcomes holidaymakers. Visitors and readers alike are beguiled by the women and their farm, and this book is sure to leave the lasting feeling that life really is good. "We'll See The Cuckoo" is the first in a series of books, followed by "We'll Trace The Rainbow" and "We'll buy another on Monday. A fourth book, "We'll Blow With The Wind, will bring the story right up to date.Read More
