About this ebook
From the author of Whips, one of the most talked-about debuts of recent years, comes a wry, touching and beautifully observed city-to-country tale for Summer 2025.
When a young woman's 'perfect' life in London falls apart in a spectacularly public fashion, she hastily relocates to the countryside in search of a job, some peace - and possibly herself. What she finds are the harsh realities of farming life, a group of people who have no interest in which magazines she's been in or who her famous ex was - and a hunky dairy farmer. However, just as she's finding roots in rural living and sets to rally together with her new community against developers on the land, an old flame comes back into the frame, and with him a host of questions about her old life...
