‘Funny, sensitive, and insightful – the perfect book to turn to at the end of a long day’ Bonnie Garmus
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.

Clare Balding grew up in the countryside surrounded by horses and dogs. A keen reader, she devoured the books of everyone from Jane Austen to Gerald Durrell. After an English literature degree at Cambridge she became a journalist and broadcaster, but always itched to write a book. She has now written nine, including her autobiography, My Animals and Other Family, which won the National Book Award for Autobiography of the Year. Encouraged by Jilly Cooper, she took the leap from her series of children's books and Pastures New is her first adult novel.
Alongside her award-winning broadcasting and coverage of major royal events, Clare hosts her much-loved Ramblings series on Radio 4, exploring Britain's landscape and its storytelling.
