Madeleine Bunting is one of the most high-profile commentators in
Britain. Her father was deeply conservative, with romantic,
old-fashioned views about England. After his death, and wanting to
understand him better, Bunting began to explore his passionate,
lifelong attachment to a small plot of land in North Yorkshire.
Delving deep into the rich history of this acre, she uncovers
traces of its Neolithic inhabitants and of the Cistercian monks;
she learns of the medieval battles and considers the changing face
of agriculture and leisure. The result sheds a fascinating light on
what a contested, layered place England is, and on what belonging
to a place might mean to all of us. The Plot is an original,
heartfelt and deeply political book.
