Description
It's every young person's dream to hit the road. Jack and Annabel set out and find fifty acres of unpicked apples and a farmer who'll let them live in his shed. A brilliant companion to Love, Ghosts and Nose Hair, Steven Herrick's new novel perfectly captures the difficult search for identity in an isolated place.
