Description
From the prize-winning author of In the Place of Fallen Leaves comes a beautiful, hypnotic pastoral novel reminiscent of Thomas Hardy, about an unexpected friendship between two children, set in Devon in 19111911.
In a forgotten valley on the Devon–Somerset border, the seasons unfold, marked only by the rituals of the farming calendar.
Twelve-year-old Leopold Sercombe skips school to help his father, a carter.
Skinny and pale, Leo dreams of a job on the estate’s stud farm.
He is breaking a colt for his father when a boy dressed in a Homburg, breeches and riding boots appears.
Peering under the stranger’s hat, he discovers Miss Charlotte, the Master’s daughter. And so begins a friendship between the children, bound by a deep love of horses, but divided by rigid social boundaries – boundaries that become increasingly difficult to navigate as they approach adolescence.
