Twenty-one year old back-packer Peter Williams is sitting on a beach on the other side of the world with nothing more pressing to worry about than beer money and where to sleep at night. That is until he gets a phone call telling him to come home, telling him that something terrible has happened, and suddenly his life changes forever.

He returns to Cornwall, to the run-down sheep farm that he and his two brothers have now inherited, to a county lost in time and a fractured family hopelessly dealing with their grief and unspoken fears for the future.

What follows is the next seven months, as the three brothers learn about the farm, about each other, and about the family feud that has driven a wedge between their parents and estranged grandfather, a feud that, even in death, threatens to tear apart yet another generation. Sink or swim, Pete cannot be sure whether the farm will turn out to be their life raft or a ship that is going down with the rest of them.

Book one in The Poldeen Trilogy
