Zusammenfassung

She didn't mean to become a revolutionary. She thought she was going on a rural retreat... A cross between Cold Comfort Farm, Tamara Drewe and a Danny Boyle film.

Come to the Edge Zusammenfassung

Come to the Edge Joanna Kavenna

Cassandra White is a woman on a mission. Her Lakeland farm may be falling apart, but at least she's escaped the madness of modern life. But when her valley is invaded by bankers buying up second homes, she's determined to put up a fight. What begins as a hare-brained scheme with a few unruly locals soon has the whole community taking up arms - and, before she knows it, Cassandra's leading a revolution...

'Hugely - gigantically - enjoyable ... One of the most entertaining, fluent and readable novelists around' Observer. * Observer *
'Dark and very funny satire on second-home owners' Observer. * Observer *
'A terrific book-group choice ... Playful, inventive and very much of its time' Cressida Connolly, Spectator. * Spectator *
'Sharp, neat, well written and darkly comic' Seven magazine (Sunday Telegraph). * Sunday Telegraph *
