Flatlands is a homage to Paul Gallico's classic short story The
Snow Goose. Freda is a twelve-year-old evacuee from East London,
who has been sent away at the start of the war, leaving behind
everything familiar to her, to escape the expected German bombing.
In her new temporary home in Lincolnshire, Freda finds herself
billeted with a strange, cold and, ultimately, abusive couple,
whose lives mirror the barren landscape in which they live a hand
to mouth existence, based upon subsistence farming and poaching.
There, deprived of any warmth, she meets a young man - Philip
Rhayader -a conscientious objector who has left Oxford and his
prospective vocation in the church following a nervous breakdown.
Slowly, he introduces her to the wonders of the natural world and
its enduring power to heal.
