Comfort Me with Apples

It’s Autumn, and the orchard is full of cider apples: Beauty of Bath, Kingston Black and Glory of the West. Inside the farmhouse, the rule of matriarch Irene is challenged when her estranged daughter returns and her middle-aged son, beginning to tire of being tied to the unprofitable farm, grows restless. Nell Leyshon’s Comfort Me with Apples is a richly evocative tale about life in our changing rural landscape.
