She spent most of her childhood reading stories and putting on plays in a tumbledown shed that she and her friends turned into a theatre. After university, she became an English and Drama teacher. Helen lives with her husband and children in London, and she can hardly believe that she now gets to call herself a writer. Vorwort Beloved Waterstones Prize-shortlisted novel by Helen Peters about the ups and downs of running a family farm AND trying to stage a secret play in a secret hen house theatre! Leseprobe Hannah stood completely still in the middle of the puddle, muddy water dripping from her hair. Lottie was standing open-mouthed at the bottom of the loft ladder. Hannah looked at Lottie, and she heard her dad's words again: "This is a farm, not a theatre." She squelched across the yard as fast as she could under the weight of the mud and water. Her heart thumped with excitement. "Lottie," said Hannah, grabbing her arm, "I've just had the most amazing idea." Zusammenfassung Since the death of her mother, Hannah's family life has been somewhat chaotic. Her father is absorbed by running their dilapidated farm, and the four children are increasingly left to their own devices. But when the farm is threatened with demolition, Hannah determines to save it and realize her dreams at the same time.
