'I would compare her to writers like Helen Dunmore, Elizabeth
Strout, Jon McGregor' BBC Radio 4 'Harding achieves a weighty sense
of silence and things not said in this unsettling book about the
aftershocks of trauma and the burdens of bearing witness' Sunday
Times 'A masterly achievement, illuminating with wisdom and
compassion the darkest corners of the human heart' Guardian A farm
in Norfolk in the 1970s. A Japanese girl comes to visit her English
lover in the house where he was born. She arrives on a day of
perfect summer, stands with his mother in a garden filled with
roses, watches as his brother walks fields of ripening wheat. But
between the two brothers lies the shadow of their father's violent
death almost twenty years before, the unresolved narrative of their
childhood - a story that has gone untold, a story that began in the
last war. In the presence of the girl, the old trauma begins to
surface as the work of the harvest begins. 'Taut and unsettling ...
A fine meditation on war's long reach' Mail on Sunday
