Synopsis "The Farm at the Edge of the World"

'A great read about guilt, atonement and identity' - Hello 'You won't want this one to end' - Marie Claire From the author of NETFLIX SENSATION ANATOMY OF A SCANDAL 1939, Will and Alice are evacuated to a granite farm in north Cornwall, perched on a windswept cliff. There they meet the farmer's daughter, Maggie, and enjoy a childhood largely protected from the ravages of war. But in the sweltering summer of 1943 something happens that will have tragic consequences. A small lie escalates out of all proportion. Over 70 years on Alice is determined to make amends - but has she left it too late? 2014, and Maggie's granddaughter Lucy flees to the childhood home she couldn't wait to leave, marriage over; career ending thanks to one terrible mistake. Can she rebuild herself? And can she help her grandmother, plagued by a secret, to find some lasting peace?

She studied English Literature at Brasenose College, University of Oxford, and worked for eleven years at The Guardian as a reporter and political correspondent.

Since then, she has excelled in the psychological thriller genre, exploring themes such as power, privilege, and social pressures on women.

Among her most recognized works are Anatomy of a Scandal (2018), adapted by Netflix in 2022; Little Disasters (2020), which addresses the complexity of motherhood; and Reputation (2022), focused on harassment of women in public life. Her incisive narrative style and focus on contemporary social issues have solidified her international reputation in suspense literature.
