Shepherds are not thick. We are just tuned to a different channel.
This is a beautifully written, honest and heartfelt book about a way of life that persists against all hardship. One that goes back centuries and, I hope, forward into the far future.
James Rebanks has set a very, very high benchmark for all the other books I intend to read in 2018.
I unreservedly and wholeheartedly recommend it.
