'A priceless portrait of one of the least understood and frequently
most vilified of people: farmers. It should really be read by all
in this country who buys food - i.e. everyone.' Daily Mail 'Highly
researched and deeply thoughtful ... Bathurst peers under the
bonnet of these lives and reveals things that rarely make it into
print.' James Rebanks, The Times 'A fine achievement: describing
the indescribable' Rosamund Young, author of The Secret Life of
Cows We think we know what makes Britain's countryside: drystone
walls, stiles, sheep on a distant hillside. But for many of us,
farmers themselves - the men and women who shape, maintain and care
for that land - often remain a mystery: familiar but unpredictable,
a secretive industry that's still visible from space. In Field
Work, Bella Bathurst journeys through Britain to talk to those on
the far side of the fence. From fruit farmers to fallen stock
operators, from grassy uplands to polytunnels, she creates a
portrait of modern Britain, exposing in the process the
inextricable bonds that exist between land and the people who farm
it. As farmers find themselves torn between time-honoured methods
and modern appetites, these raw, wise and funny accounts reveal an
ancient way of life changing beyond recognition.
