The Witch of Exmoor

A$25 · Offered by Harry Hartog Rare Books

Frieda Palmer - an eccentric, brilliant and infuriating woman with a maddening disregard for convention - has withdrawn to a decaying house by the sea on the wild edges of Exmoor. Now, the question of which of her children will inherit her fortune looms large. But do any of them really deserve it? Set against the turbulent backdrop of post-Thatcherite Britain, The Witch of Exmoor is a spellbinding portrait of a troubled family and a wry dissection of middle-class sentiment around legacy and social ambition.
