In this beautifully observed book, Rebecca Smith paints a picture of the working class lives that often go overlooked. Living in rural areas means being surrounded by natural beauty, but for many it also demands hard work, precarity, fewer opportunities and – increasingly – being pushed out of the place your family might have called home for generations.In conversation with Festival Director, Ros Green, (who grew up in Charsfield in East Suffolk in 1960s and 1970s: the inspiration for Ronald Blythes’s Penguin Classic Akenfield: Portrait of an English Village) they will discuss the relations between nature and human nature, the land, education, class and welfare.
This event will include an audience Q&A. After the event there will be an opportunity to get your book signed by the author.
