Guardian Bookshop Notes:

The fiction debut of the award-winning poet and author of "The Dust Diaries". Set in a World War Two where Britain has been invaded, it follows a young farmer's wife who wakes up to find all the men of her Welsh village gone. A German patrol arrives in the valley, and it soon transpires that they are there to claim an extraordinary medieval art treasure that lies hidden there. A hugely commercial literary novel.
