The Lie of the Land

Quentin and Lottie Bredin can't afford to divorce, so must downsize and move their three children from London to Devon. Arrogant, adulterous Quentin can't understand Lottie's anger; while Lottie feels intolerably wounded. Why is their rent so low? What is the mystery surrounding their unappealing new home? The beautiful landscape conceals a dark side... Sally Verity, happily married but unhappily childless, knows a different side to country life, as a Health Visitor and sheep farmer's wife. When Lottie's teenage son Xan gets a zero-hours contract at a local pie factory, he sees yet another. At the end of their year, all their lives will be changed for ever...
