Till the Cows Come HomeLorna Sixsmith
Mixing family memories, social history and personal experience, Lorna Sixsmith tells how she and her husband abandoned their nine-to-five jobs to return to her ancestral farm in rural Ireland. Between a warm, often humorous account of the challenges of sheep-rearing, milking and the calving season, she explores her forebears’ history, and the hard lives and dark deeds that lie beneath a seeming pastoral idyll.
