On Dancing Hill - Farmer's wife, Kate, has gone on a week-long painting course in Provence. It is the first time her husband, children father and animals have tried to cope without her, the first time she has been on the loose without them. What will happen while she's away What will happen when she coes back In some ways Sarah Challis's novels are reminiscent of Joanna Trollope, in others of Rosamunde Pilcher, but the very special mixture of warmth, humour and intelligence with which she unfolds her stories is in the end uniquely her own.
Praise for Sarah Challis's writing: 'I really enjoyed TURNING FOR HOME...I thought it so perceptive... I particularly enjoyed the very touching romance * Rosamunde Pilcher *
Excellently-written, with a gripping ending * Wiltshire Times *
Touching, funny and exciting * Blackmore Vale magazine *
Sarah Challis is becoming a novelist to be reckoned with * Dorset Life *
Her evocation of the English countryside is elegiac...a pleasure to read * Oxford Times *
Sarah Challis, whose father is the distinguished cinematographer, Christopher Challis, travelled widely with film units as a child. She has since lived in Scotland and California but is now happily settled in a Dorset village with three rescued dogs and three chickens. She is married with four sons.
