General Non-Fiction
Synopsis
One summer’s day in the late 1960s, two young Londoners fell in love with a hill farm in South Wales. They had almost no money, no idea about sheep and their tempestuous relationship would soon feel the strain. From memory, conversations and the diaries of his now-separated parents, Horatio Clare reconstructs their relationship with each other and their mountain farm, and tells the story of his astonishing upbringing. At the fore is his mother, a wilful romantic, who chooses to make a life on the mountain single-handedly and to raise her children there. It is a vivid memoir of love and struggle in a remote and magical place.You May Also Be Interested In...
