Amy and Lan

'This is the story of how we came to Frith. And we're never, ever, ever leaving.'

Amy Connell and Lan Honey are having the best childhood ever. They live on a West Country farm with their sisters and brothers, a couple of lodgers, goats, dogs and an orphaned calf called Gabriella Christmas.

Amy and Lan's parents are best friends too. They came from the city and they're learning about farming, year on year: growing their own food, slaughtering their own chickens, scything and bringing in the hay -

'Mind your eyes! Don't break your neck! Careful!'

The adults are far too busy to keep an eye on Amy and Lan, and Amy and Lan would never tell them about climbing on the high barn roof, or the accident they had with the axe that time. The same way their parents don't tell the kids the dangerous things they get up to — adult things, like betrayal — that threaten to bring the whole fragile idyll tumbling down.
