Polly Morland’s A Fortunate Woman explores 50 years of seismic change in our society through one woman’s remarkable life. Rebecca Smith’s Rural: The Lives of the Working-Class Countryside expands out from her own family history to show how those who labour in nature often have the least control over what happens there. This is for anybody who aches for what has been lost.
