‘Funny, sensitive, and insightful – the perfect book to turn to at the end of a long day’ Bonnie Garmus
The perfect novel for anyone who has ever dreamt of a fresh start…
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.
