About this Item

Paperback. In his haunting debut, Water and Sky, published in 2014, Neil Sentance explored the history of his family and the landscape which shaped them. Ridge and Furrow continues the project to chart in prose the voices of a seldom recorded people and place.

Ridge and Furrow melds memoir and fiction, place and nature writing, told with characteristic lyricism and muddy realism. Ridge and Furrow continues the project, begun in the acclaimed Water and Sky, to chart in prose the voices of a seldom recorded people and place. This is a delicate portrayal of one family in rural Lincolnshire in the twentieth century as they struggle with war, poverty and the great changes in agriculture.
