Monica Lewicka does not let down her hard-earned fans with this second novel. Bringing us a myriad of detailed, funny, soulful characters, here's new insight for anyone who has ever wondered about life for strangers in a strange land. Lit from within like strawberries in the sun, Two Caravans is also one of the best-researched books I've read. If you thought those two chefs put you off eating chicken, check Lewicka's too true descriptions of farm life. I read it in a day and passed it straight on to somebody I liked. I suggest you do the same.
