'The pleasures of this bountiful novel are like a glass of cool water on a parched summer day' THE TIMES Over the course of a burning hot summer, two very different men – traumatized Falklands veteran Calvert, and affable, chaotic Redbone – set out nightly in a clapped-out camper van to undertake an extraordinary project. As the summer wears on, and their designs grow ever more ambitious, the two men find that their work has become a cult international sensation – and that an unlikely and beautiful friendship has taken root as the wheat ripens from green to gold.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC. All views are my own. There’s an exploration of social and environmental issues and such magic in the writing!

The media could not be loaded. I really enjoyed The Offing so was pleased to get an early look at Benjamin Myers’ latest. It’s just as delightful!
Beautiful, poetic prose, stunning descriptions of nature and a beguiling story set in 1989 of the friendship of two men who create complex crop circles. It is indeed perfect!
