'The Farmer's Wife: My Life in Days' by Helen Rebanks

This September, we are honoured and privileged to welcome arguably the world’s most famous farmer’s wife, Helen Rebanks. As Helen’s local bookshop, we’re delighted that she’ll be joining us to read from, and discuss, her hotly-anticipated debut book – The Farmer’s Wife: My Life in Days – a beautifully illustrated, honest and intimate meditation on the power of domestic life.

Weaving past and present, The Farmer’s Wife takes us from the farmhouse table of Helen’s grandma, through a journey of self-discovery and into the Lake District home she now shares with her husband, four children and a plethora of animals.

With rare truthfulness, Helen shares her life in days – the joy, wonder and the grind. The Farmer’s Wife is a story about food and love, and a gorgeous, unvarnished delve into the labour and glory of keeping a home and raising a family. Helen’s gentle wisdom, helpful lists and accessible recipes help us get through our days, whatever they throw at us.

Don’t miss this.
