Description:

From Celebrity Traitors contestant Clare Balding comes the perfect novel for anyone who has ever dreamt of a fresh start…

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

Alex has perfected the art of dodging responsibility during her almost 40 years – until an unexpected letter turns her life upside down.

She’s inherited a crumbling sheep farm in wildest, wettest Wales. This was not her life plan. Not at all.

Now, her closest companion is a stubborn Welsh terrier, she’s speed-reading The Idiot’s Guide to Farming, and her arrival has set the village gossip mill spinning. With the farm near collapse, Alex sets out to uncover the truth behind her mysterious inheritance.

But as secrets surface, Alex finds her heart pulling her in a direction she never saw coming.

Will she pack her bags – or has she landed exactly where she’s meant to be?

The perfect feel-good read for autumn 2025, and a joyful celebration of new beginnings, community and rural life – buy your copy today!

Review:

5.0 out of 5 stars Light hearted romantic book

W.L. · 5 October 2025

I really enjoyed this book. Loved the light hearted romance throughout the storyline. The description of the Welsh countryside was beautiful and the fast paced journalism of London not so much if you are a country person. Don’t want to give too much away to spoil the story. Well done Claire hope there is more to come. Will pass the book on to others to enjoy as I have read the book over 4-5 days.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such a good read

I don't read fiction at all. This is my first in over 50 years but I thought it sounded interesting. And it didn't disappoint.A very easy read and excellent storyline. So good I didn't want it to end. I hope there is a sequel to this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Give it a look

A very likeable first journey into adult novels. A tender warming story that was very relatable for me whilst also a bit predictable. An enjoyable read.

Gentle and sensitive with an interesting story line weaving through. So glad my book club recommended this book after seeing Clare at her book signing.

3.0 out of 5 stars A predictable but 'feel good' story

A.C. · 4 October 2025

I don't know how the main character didn't guess why she'd been left the farm, and the outcome was very predictable, but overall it was a 'feel good' story. Not a book I'll keep to read again - hence only 3 stars

5.0 out of 5 stars Favourite book, of the 33, I've read this year

R.M. · 22 September 2025

I truly love an uplifting story about the support of a community and finding romantic love. Books like that have become my safe haven while the world has gone mad over the past years. I have been longing to read one that wasn't hetero normative. This story is so beautiful and gentle and beguiling, like a long country walk with a bit of rain and a warm fireplace in the pub at the end. Please write more stories like this.
