About This Book

A solitary woman in her forties takes possession of a long-cared-for country farm and revels in the small certainties of land, livestock, and household routine. The arrival of a weary Gordon Setter and subtle signs of a missing former occupant awaken curiosity about previous lives tied to the place. Domestic staff, neighbors, and careful attention to seasonal labor shape daily rhythms, while quiet mysteries and memories surface through landscape, objects, and human interactions. The narrative quietly explores belonging, the solace of stewardship, and how the presence of others endures in the textures of a home and its fields.

Oh, I would siege the golden coasts
Of space, and climb high Heaven’s dome,
So I might see those million ghosts
Come home.
