About the Book

The delightfully down-to-earth debut novel from Clare Balding. ‘Funny, sensitive, and insightful – the perfect book to turn to at the end of a long day’ Bonnie Garmus Alex has perfected the art of dodging responsibility during her almost 40 years – until an unexpected letter turns her life upside down. She’s inherited a crumbling sheep farm in wildest, wettest Wales. This was not her life plan. Not at all. Now, her closest companion is a stubborn Welsh terrier, she’s speed-reading The Idiot’s Guide to Farming, and her arrival has set the village gossip mill spinning. With the farm near collapse, Alex sets out to uncover the truth behind her mysterious inheritance. But as secrets surface, Alex finds her heart pulling her in a direction she never saw coming. Will she pack her bags – or has she landed exactly where she’s meant to be? Brimming with the warmth and wit that has made Clare Balding one of our best-loved TV personalities, Pastures New is a joyful celebration of new beginnings, community, and the delightful surprises of rural life. Acclaim for Clare Balding's books: 'The reading equivalent of snuggling by the fire with a labrador' The Guardian ‘Funny and moving, James Herriot meets David Sedaris’ The Times ‘Forthright, thoughtful, funny … reads like a Jilly Cooper novel’ Sunday Times

About the Author :
Clare Balding grew up in the countryside surrounded by horses and dogs. A keen reader, she devoured the books of everyone from Jane Austen to Gerald Durrell. After an English literature degree at Cambridge she became a journalist and broadcaster, but always itched to write a book. She has now written nine, including her autobiography, My Animals and Other Family, which won the National Book Award for Autobiography of the Year. Encouraged by Jilly Cooper, she took the leap from her series of children's books and Pastures New is her first adult novel. Alongside her award-winning broadcasting and coverage of major royal events, Clare hosts her much-loved Ramblings series on Radio 4, exploring Britain's landscape and its storytelling.
