Here you will find stories about families, feuds, love and land; enchantment, disenchantment, and throughout, the manifold bonds of love. Here are stories about the tension between country and city life, the instinct towards escape and nostalgia for home; and always the shimmering, potent prose.This book has been hand-picked for the Book People's FaberShop, in partnership with Faber & Faber.Read More
