Harvest

Great End Farm has a new tenant—and to the two old labourers trudging past its drought-struck fields, the news is stranger than rain: she is a woman. When Rachel Henderson’s wagonette rolls by, they glimpse dark eyes and a future they don’t quite believe in.

In a chalk-down valley of rural England, as war and social change unsettle old certainties, Rachel arrives at a neglected farm with plans to make its fields flourish. The labourers wonder what a woman can know of farming; Rachel, keenly measuring the land and its needs, has more to contend with than their doubts. The farmhouse needs repairs, workers are scarce, and the harvest ahead will test whether her ambitions can take root. Can Rachel make Great End yield the future she has imagined?
