The Land, The Land
Roger Oldfield farms sheep in one of the most beautiful valleys in the Yorkshire Dales. Roger and his family – Annie his wife, daughter Lily, and autistic son, Danny – battle against the billionaire’s company, the greedy neighbouring farmer, the local council, and powerful forces within London’s political circles.
Civil war looms.
Set between some of the wildest and most stunning scenery in Britain, and the heaving London metropolis, this epic story traces the clash of personalities, environmental interests, and ultimately the philosophies of twenty-first-century society.
