Description

Winner of the John Llewellyn Rhys PrizeDisillusioned with his successful life in London, Richard Godwin moves to a remote Cumberland village in search of a more fulfilling existence.

His arrival coincides with a birth of an illegitimate child to a local woman, binding her to a future she had hoped to escape.

As these two outsiders struggle to come to terms with themselves - and each other - their passion, desperation and delight draw all those around them into conflict. 'As near to being a work of art as makes no difference.

I became more and more deeply and enjoyably immersed' The Times
