To the casual outsider, Hill Farm is a rural idyll and the perfect retreat from urban life. Yet beneath the tranquil surface lie discontent, desire and death-watch beetles. Farmer Hayes loves the land - but hates farming. His neglected wife Isabel adores her three children, but is temperamentally unsuited to life as a wife and mother. The Smith sisters have not spoken to one another for forty years, farm-hand Mikey dabbles in pyromania, while neighbour Mr Payne has fled the city, only to find a greater threat to his karma in the hedgerows of Middle England. And after one incendiary summer, all of their lives will be different... 'Beautifully rendered, the shifting inner lives of the characters are subtle and believable and the fresh, sometimes subversive observation is a delight' Sunday Times 'Miranda France writes skilfully and with a wry touch... Hill Farm is a pleasure to read, tempting the reader to wolf it down in one' Sunday Herald 'An arresting writer...France's account of village life conveys a genuine, smouldering anger... Adultery, arson and assault - all come bursting out' Guardian
