A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

'Fine, gripping and unflinching' The Times

The land running down to the River Dean has been farmed by the Meredith family for generations. Robin Meredith bought the farm from his father, just before he married his wife Caro, and he and his brother Joe work on the land. But now Caro has died, as much a mystery to the family as she was when she arrived from California twenty years ago, leaving Robin and the rest of the family to cope with the loss.

With Caro gone, her daughter Judy feels cut adrift, while Joe's despair is deeper than anyone suspects. Into this unhappy family comes Zoe, Judy's London friend, an outsider with an independent spirit and a disturbing directness. Everyone underestimates Zoe's power as a catalyst for change as the realities behind the seeming idyll of a rural community become ever clearer.

'A devastatingly acute picture of a harsh rural world' Sunday Times
