Hill farm

the long version

"Hill Farm tells the story of what appears to be a perfectly ordinary farming family living in a perfect village in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It feels like a place that will never change. It's fields have been cultivated since medieval times, it's farmhouse is crumbling and the same bric-a-brac has been circulating the village jumble sales for decades. But change does come, that summer. It comes in different guises: a handsome farm hand, a death-watch beetle, a ylang-ylang scented bosom, a lost hedgerow, a disused water tank. Finally it comes in the shape of an explosive argument in the tractor shed, after which nothing will ever be the same again"--Page [2] of jacket.
