The good news: Eric's inherited his father's pristine Aston Martin DB4. The bad news? Everything else.

When Eric Sibley inherits his father's beloved Aston Martin DB4, he discovers there's an outrageous catch - he must tend to his father's allotment. Every week. For two years. For a London executive whose idea of gardening is buying pre-cut salad from Waitrose, this is nothing short of absurd.

Between cantankerous allotment holders, a catastrophic incident with a mini-excavator, and suspicious herbs that may or may not be illegal, Eric's life is careening towards chaos. His marriage is teetering on the brink, his career is hanging by a thread, and the allotment committee seems determined to make his life as difficult as possible.

Could there be more to this inheritance than just an aging car and an overgrown allotment, or is Eric's father playing one final trick from beyond the grave?

Perfect for fans of witty British fiction and anyone who knows that sometimes the best things in life start with a little chaos.
