The Farmer's Wife

In this warm-hearted and beautifully candid debut, Helen Rebanks shares memories, anecdotes, recipes and thoughts from her Lake District farm in celebration of the countless ways it has shaped and enriched her life.

This honest and heart-warming memoir offers a portrait of the labour and glory of keeping a home and raising a family. Weaving past and present, Helen Rebanks shares her highs and lows, from the emotional journey to the birth of her first child, and the endless improvisation of each night's dinner, to the dog gobbling up her daughter's freshly-made birthday cake. These are days that have shaped her, and the ways she finds the quiet strength to keep going.
