A narrator in retreat from suburban life, a shambolic draughty farmhouse in a scenic valley...
A widowed survivalist called Cassandra White...
A banker, a village-full of empty second homes, and scores of poor and elderly people with nowhere to go...
A crazy utopian scheme to reclaim the valley for the locals.
A dark, timely satire from Joanna Kavenna, the prize-winning author of Inglorious and The Birth of Love...
