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. Its fields have been cultivated since medieval times, its 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 lavender-scented bosom, a lost hedgerow, a disused water tank. But finally it comes in the shape of an explosive argument in the tractor shed, after which nothing will ever be the same again.

With gentle wit and sharp intelligence, Miranda France takes the rural idyll and shakes it right up. She finds there's quite another side to the Hill Farm story.

Review:
"There is so much to admire in this novel: authorial eloquence, sly wit and the multi-faceted evocation of a rural community." (David Lodge)

"A clear-eyed, wise and subtle debut novel from a novelist to watch. Miranda France“s depiction of a vanishing rural Britain is packed with characters and events that ring coruscatingly true." (Liz Jensen)
