Hope Farm by Freedman, Claire

ISBN: 9781925106572 PUBLISHER: Scribe Publications FORMAT: PAPERBACK PAGES: 352 PUBLICATION DATE: 23.09.2015

DESCRIPTION: They were inescapable, the tensions of the adult world - the fraught and febrile aura that surrounded Ishtar and those in her orbit, that whined and creaked like a wire pulled too tight.' It is the winter of 1985. Hope Farm sticks out of the ragged landscape like a decaying tooth, its weatherboard walls sagging into the undergrowth. Silver's mother, Ishtar, has fallen for the charismatic Miller, and the three of them have moved to the rural hippie commune to make a new start. At Hope, Silver finds unexpected friendship and, at last, a place to call home. But it is also here that, at just thirteen, she is thrust into an unrelenting adult world - and the walls begin to come tumbling down, with deadly consequences. Hope Farm is the masterful second novel from award-winning author Peggy Frew, and is a devastatingly beautiful story about the broken bonds of childhood, and the enduring cost of holding back the truth. 'Completely absorbing. Hope Farm is elegant, tender, and very wise.' Chris Womersley, award-winning author of Bereft and Cairo
