Terrific, page-turning, slyly funny' India Knight, Sunday Times'Lottie and Quentin Bredin should be divorcing, their relationship irretrievably cheapened by Quentin's infidelities, but can't afford to. So instead they move with their three children to Devon, hoping to live off the rental income that their London home produces. Lottie finds a farmhouse that's puzzlingly cheap. Soon they discover why, and it's nothing to do with the mice or the damp . . . An enjoyable, sharp-witted and at times knowingly melodramatic novel, it lives up to the promise of its title' Financial Times'I loved the The Lie of the Land. A panoramic, superbly-plotted novel about the ways we live now, about money and desire, cruelty and generosity, crime and vengeance, country and city. Craig is at the top of her game' Helen DunmoreThere is much to relish here. The sharp characters, the smooth grown-up prose, the irony, and the ability to weave warmth and dark honesty like few other novelists can. A very good read indeed' Matt Haig
