Used book – Love and Desolation, Angela Huth, Lisa Rosenbaum

George Elkin, a young Oxford graduate, will not be taking over his recently deceased father's law firm. He has always dreamed of taking over the family farm. He embarks on this bucolic adventure with the help of two childhood friends who run a neighbouring property: Prodge and his sister Nell. Just as Nell's love for George blossoms, he receives a visit from Lily, a university friend. Lily moves in. Dreams and desires turn into utter confusion as rural England faces a dramatic crisis. A skilled playwright and a keen watercolourist of souls, Angela Huth delivers, in this eventful closed-door novel, a story about the confusion of feelings, set against the backdrop of the mad cow disease crisis.
