HOW DID THE GOOD LIFE GO SO WRONG? Amy Connell and Lan Honey are having the best childhood.
When their families make the leap from city living to a farm in the West Country they have
untold freedom. The adults are far too busy to keep an eye on them and Amy and Lan would never
tell them about climbing on the high barn roof or what happened with the axe that time any
more than their parents would tell them the things they get up to. Adult things like betrayal
that threaten to bring the whole fragile idyll tumbling down... 'Funny and moving' Elizabeth
Day'A fabulous thing: vivid and funny sometimes heart-rendingly sad' Guardian'I couldn't put
it down' Esther Freud
