Her ability to capture the large and small nuances of famiy dynamics and how they progress and change is wondrous. Judy was adopted by Robin and Carolyn as a baby, and grew up on a farm surrounded by her grandparents and aunt and uncle. As an adult she is hurting because of her mother's death from cancer and angry at her father. Robin is angry as well. After another family tragedy feelings are stretched taut and Robin needs to become the rock everyone counts on. But it is Judy's roommate Zoe, a young photographer's assistant, who understanding sorrow because of her own loss, steps in and helps Judy's family. To me she is a kind of Mary Poppins who goes where needed and instinctively knows what to do and say. Good read. A book about a farming community, that opens with the funeral of Robin's wife Caro. It's the start of a difficult time for the rest of the family, particularly his daughter Judy. Her friend Zoe - an uncomplicated, spontaneous kind of girl - wants to visit the farm, and then finds herself drawn back to the people and situations. She's the catalyst for a lot of changes. There are complex relationships, and financial problems as well as some farming discussion which I mostly skimmed through. Pleasant light reading with believable people. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

The land running down to the River Dean has been farmed by the Meredith family for generations. Robin Meredith bought the farm from his father, just before he married his wife Caro and now he and his brother Joe work on the land. But now Caro has died, as much as a mystery to the family as she was when she arrived twenty years ago, and the whole family feels her loss acutely, none more so than her adopted daughter Judy.Into this unhappy family comes Zoe, Judy's London friend, an outsider with an independent spirit and a disturbing directness.Everyone underestimates Zoe's power as a catalyst for change as the realities behind the seeming idyll of a rural community become ever clearer..
