A story of love and self discovery that resonates across the ages (Nicholas Evans)

Mike and Gally are a complementary couple. He, the teacher, is older, more sober and rational. She, the student, is impulsive, vivacious and instinctive. They are searching for a house in the country when one of Gally’s intuitions brings them to a village in Somerset and a broken-down old cottage. To Mike, this looks like a financial nightmare, to Gally it is a potential dream home – and her wish is irresistible.
Soon, however, their loving relationship comes under strain as Gally forms an increasingly close attachment to Ferney, an old countryman who seems to know everything about the house and its past, not to mention the history of the countryside.
What is it that draws these two people together? Reluctantly at first, then with more urgency as he feels the time slipping away, Ferney forces Gally to understand their connection: a bond that brings a life-or-death dilemma down the centuries to this one moment of unbearable suspense.
A beautiful evocation of pastoral history and a compulsively gripping narrative make 'Ferney' a superbly enjoyable and utterly original novel.
“This book grips ... It belongs to the unputdownable, so goodbye sleep. I love it ... the whole story sang”
