When Mary Buchan leaves school she goes straight into the male dominated world of farming. It's the 1950s and her first job is as a herdswoman at Chapel Farm, a small isolated farm on the English/Welsh border at Wigmore. This deeply personal book features the letters she sends to her mother over the course of a year or so, revealing how her career is progressing, friendships and even romance. This memoir is a fascinating historical record celebrating family but also that wonderful form of communication, the letter. Read it, you'll learn something.
