Rural Life in an Urban Age

Beschreibung

A humorous and thought-provoking story seen through the eyes of a landowner, a modern-day Poldark, trying to keep the family estate going in an ever-changing world. Jamie's intelligent and easy-to-read narrative flows through the farming challenges of the Scottish independence referendum, the hunting ban and Brexit.
