1973
Hoping to reclaim the peace of her rural childhood, Margo moves with her husband to a remote corner of Gloucestershire. She is following her dream of working with horses, but finding her feet in this scattered community is harder than she thought.
The horses are highly strung Arabs, the previous groom seems to haunt every shadow, and her neighbours have some very peculiar customs.
Now something sinister may be roaming the village at night.
Life in this strange place is turning out to be very different from the dream ...
Warm, unflinching and funny. This is rural life stripped bare
