About this story

A year of rural exile buys back a trust fund; the rent buys a chore list and a landlord who keeps his walls up. Forty-five chapters of attack geese, a village classroom and a widower's grief, ending with a school play and a boy who runs.

Who you’ll meet

The gruff landlord and village head who watches his own attack geese charge the reader's arrival like it's his favourite show.
