In deepest, rural England, Fliss and Ivor Harley-Wright are dead broke and at their wits ends in ancient, collapsing Little Waitling Hall. The Hall is not even theirs -- hence they are at the beck and call of both Ivor s terrifying, exasperating mother, Titty, and the bank. Their one drop of hope lies in the sale of the family s sole resource -- The Harley-Wright Collection of Commemorative Drinking Vessels, inherited from Ivor s father. Their potential savior comes in the dubious and unwilling form of the sharpish, youngish American, Tom Klaus, lawyer to an asset-stripper, billionaire American. In short, an unlikely customer. Klaus is sent to scout out the goods with what he thinks is a very firm grasp of the English and their culture. Instead he finds mud, weeds in the kitchen, and Titty. Can the Harley-Wrights persuade Tom to love sodden Suffolk and pull them from their financial mire?
