Maggie and
Andrew Prentice have taken early retirement and are looking forward to
spending their last decades sipping good wine and enjoying the fine cuisine
and clement climate at their new home in France. But their plans are shelved
by the death in a car crash of their estranged son Graham and… More his
humourless wife. As the next of kin, the Prentices become the legal
guardians of their three grandchildren, Georgia (13), Philip (11) and Jake
(5), and their menagerie of pets. It's a rum do, especially for Maggie who
readily admits that she loathes children and was never cut out for
motherhood. To make matters worse, the sprogs are essentially miniature
versions of their parents, indoctrinated as haters of humankind, virulent
anti-smokers and champions of various modern-day concerns: whales, trees,
the environment, sexual politics, and so on.
