The perfect novel for anyone who has ever dreamt of a fresh start. `Funny, sensitive, and insightful - the perfect book to turn to at the end of a long day' Bonnie Garmus Alex has unexpectedly inherited a crumbling sheep farm in wildest, wettest Wales. This was not her life plan. Not at all. Armed with only An Idiot's Guide to Farming, and watched by a wary Welsh terrier, Alex sets out to uncover the truth behind her mysterious inheritance. But as secrets surface, will she pack her bags - or has she landed exactly where she's meant to be? A joyful celebration of new beginnings, community - and a very stubborn dog. READERS LOVE PASTURES NEW: `A funny, heartwarming, emotive journey' `This open and down-to-earth story really captured my heart' `A fabulous feel-good read' `The wonderful setting, the very special characters and the vibrant and tight-knit community made this book a very special read indeed' `Fantastic' `Couldn't put it down'
