Oh god, this book. I cried from cover to cover. I cried because of what we have lost, what we are losing, both wildlife and tradition. I cried because every page spoke to me directly as a farmer's daughter. I cried because I missed my Grandads, taking me out to do farm jobs after school. I cried because my family has experienced the same change, hardship and beauty, and I left because I didn't appreciate any of it. I can't wait to buy a copy for my Dad and make him cry as well.
