I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

What a beautifully written book. The story it tells - of how British farming has changed over the past few decades, and the toll this took on the environment and farmers - is very familiar, almost to the point of cliche. But it's so well-excuted, well-written, and heartfelt that you can't mind. I read this book in one entire sitting, and it's stayed with me ever since. It does make you think differently about farming, ecology, and heritage.
