She didn't mean to become a revolutionary. She thought she was going on a rural retreat.
Take one narrator looking to 'get away from it all'. Put her in a shambolic, draughty farmhouse in a scenic valley with two psychotic goats and a village-full of empty second homes and scores of poor and elderly people with nowhere to go...
ADD one widowed survivalist called Cassandra White and an absent banker.
Stir in an escalating state of hostilities between the haves - who don't use what they have - and the have-nots - who decide on a crazy utopian scheme to reclaim the valley for the locals.
And what do you get?
A hilarious, timely satire from Joanna Kavenna, the prize-winning author of Inglorious and The Birth of Love...
