Description
Britain in the 1970s offered fertile ground for those on a mission. For much of the decade, the country was crippled by the high price of oil, economic mismanagement and strikes. Written in the 1980s, this is the story of two individualists, Feral Windward, an artist and farmer, and Jamie Moray, a poet and healer, who meet by chance and develop an intense friendship based on their shared love of the natural world and mutual concern for the spiritual state of humanity. Inspired and encouraged by each other, Feral and Jamie propose to put their Christian faith and their talents to practical use. They set out on separate paths, buoyed by their strong sense of purpose and the support of a colourful group of friends as they abandon themselves to risk. At the poetic and mystical heart of the book Feral’s farm on Exmoor endures as the sanctuary where she and friends gather at every opportunity.
