Running an apartment house is the short cut to easy money in today's world, so Pook purchases a huge Victorian house and converts it to what he calls a vertical village in order to bolster his ailing career as a writer.
This formidable enterprise is backed by the beautiful Olga and Pook's aggressive little ally Honners - but there are snags even in the lettting game. Such as eccentric lodgers and difficult clients. But the biggest snag of all for Pook is the sultry siren Denise, a femme fatale who demands more than accommodation in return for the rental. Much more. In fact, Pook's marriage to Olga is threatened by Denise's startling new interpretation of the Landlord and Tenant's Act.
Apart from being an extremely funny story of man's struggle for survival in a woman's world, Pook's Love Nest is a veritable handbook of advice and practical help for readers who are in any way interested in putting up that magic sign - VACANCIES.
