Something’s Leaking Upstairs is the funny and endearing account of Claire, a California-born journalist, and her British husband, George, who retire from professional careers in the city to follow George’s dream of owning a mini-ranch in the San Joaquin Valley and fulfill his promise of travel adventures—“soon.” George loves ranch life, but Claire is quickly disenchanted by plugged septic systems, wayward pigs and calves, and zany tenants who rent the apartments George buys to supplement their income. He purchases a travel trailer to placate Claire but loans it to his British relatives. The tenant disaster that gives the book its title results in Claire’s return to her city job. But she misses George and the clean country air. In the end, with a lot of ingenuity and a bit of compromise, Claire and George figure out how to have it all.

Fun!,
By Lin Ennis "Writer, Business Owner" (Sedona, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Something's Leaking Upstairs (Paperback)
A fun "romp on the farm" for a city girl newly married to a British aspiring gentleman farmer. Not much of a farm, really, but a cluster of rental properties with tenants that keep the couple guessing and both animals and renters to keep the couple's hands dirty. Not the life of leisurely travel Claire hoped for...nor was she quite prepared for her husband's way with money.
If you're ever owned a rental property, you'll be hooked for sure. I couldn't go to bed till I finished it!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Funny and Sweet,
This review is from: Something's Leaking Upstairs (Paperback)
This book is delightful. Some of the episodes with pigs, tenants and farming made me laugh out loud. Not to give the ending away, but it resolves all the challenges, problems and issues in a loving, caring way to the satisfaction of all. I loved it.
