A Country Wife

0.0

Londoner Lucy Pinney arrived in the Dorset countryside a charmingly naxEF;ve and very enthusiastic newly-wed. Knowing nothing of the great outdoors, she blithely launched herself into a life of lamb-rearing, cake-baking and ploughing competitions. Battling the continual threat of bankruptcy, grappling with lambing and calving and navigating the politics and peculiarities of the countryside set, A Country Wife tells the witty, touching and evocative tale of one womanx2019;s transition from townie bride to farmerx2019;s wife. Set against the backdrop of the Dorset and Devon countryside, Lucy chronicles the foibles of those living off the land as well as her experiences in her own, less than perfect farmhouse kitchen.

Lucy Pinney wrote an extremely popular column for The Times, called Country Life, for over four years. With style and wit, Lucy chronicled life in the Devon countryside - from diversifying wives and errant husbands, to lambing seasons and pet foxes - as well as life inside her own, less than perfect, farmhouse kitchen. Now a full-time author, Lucy has previously published two novels.
