Guardian Bookshop Notes:

After the death of her father, "Guardian" columnist Bunting began to explore his attachment to a small plot of land in North Yorkshire in an attempt to better understand him. Delving into the history of the acre, she uncovers traces of Neolithic inhabitants, Cistercian monks, medieval battles and changed techniques of agriculture and leisure.

Publisher's description:

A work that deftly balances the emotional and the political, and shows what a contested, layered place we inhabit.
