I wanted to love this one, as much as I love Lynbreck Croft, but unfortunately it left me wanting. I started reading the digital ARC and didn't finish it, but then I received the ARC for the audiobook and let Cassells voice take me away.

Like many people, I first met Lynn and Sandra through the BBC's This Farming Life. They were my favorite that season and I started following them on social media. Because I am well-versed in the history of their croft, I don't feel like I learned anything new from reading this book, but I'm sure that people who stumble upon the book without having seen the show might enjoy it more that I did.

Nevertheless, I have nothing but respect for the couple and the gamble they took. The book is great for fans of Isabella Tree's Wilding: The Return of Nature to a British Farm and Roy Dennis's Restoring the Wild: Sixty Years of Rewilding Our Skies, Woods and Waterways.
