A Farmer's Diary - finished copies for reading groups

We’re offering up to 10 finished copies of A Farmer’s Diary by Sally Urwin for a reading group based in the UK, ideally with active social media presence. We’d really like this to go to a rural or regional reading group, with bonus points if you have any farmer members! The book accounts a year in the life of farmer Sally Urwin who gave up a marketing job when she married Steve and moved to High House Farm in rural Northumberland. Two kids later and she’s looking after the farm, lambing non stop in spring and taking on extra work to keep the bills paid. This is a funny, honest account of the realities of agricultural life – the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
