Summer 1936 and the world is on the cusp of change, but there's little sign of this in rural Sussex. When Kitty Allen answers an advert for "a good plain cook', despite hardly knowing how to boil an egg, she has no idea what she's in for. Her employers are rich bohemians who see themselves as champions of "the people" - but know nothing about how the people actually live. Out of her depth and surrounded by madness, it becomes clear that life in the country is not as simple as it seems. Perfect Summer Reading from the bestselling author of The Pools.
