Londoner Lucy Pinney arrived in the Dorset countryside a charmingly naive 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 woman's transition from townie bride to farmer'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.
