'The kind of book that gives you hope and courage. I loved it' Kit
de Waal 'Insightful, thoughtful' Carys Bray 'I relished every word'
Shelley Harris 'Such a warm and touching novel' Lissa Evans A
moving and courageous exploration of belonging and finding home in
a rapidly-changing world from the critically acclaimed author of
Shelter. Jo grew up in the Forest of Dean, but she was always the
one destined to leave for a bigger, brighter future. When her
parents retire from their butcher's shop, she returns to her
beloved community to save the family legacy, hoping also to save
herself. But things are more complex than the rose-tinted version
of life which sustained Jo from afar. Tessa is a farrier, shoeing
horses two miles and half a generation away from Jo, further into
the forest. Tessa's experience of the community couldn't be more
different. Now she too has returned, in flight from a life she
could have led, nursing a secret and a past filled with guilt and
shame. Compelled through circumstance to live together, these two
women will be forced to confront their sense of identity, and
reconsider the meaning of home.
