All the Things We Buried

‘Sheena shows how funny and sad ordinary life often is. She writes brilliantly about love, longing, and village gossip’ CURTIS SITTENFELD What longings will men kill for? What secrets will women bury? When Iris Lennox left the family farm in rural Scotland, she never meant to return. She knew her brother would one day inherit everything. Farmer’s sons always do. But when her father dies suddenly, in an unlikely accident on the land he knew better than anyone, Iris is drawn back home. Back to the fields she loved, the best friend she misses, the mother who drove her away, the brother who won’t meet her eye. Her father always said men would kill for land like this. Now Iris is discovering there’s a difference between what parents hope their children will inherit, and all the damage they never mean to pass down. Is she prepared to fight for what could still be hers?
