Devoured
Description:... "1973. Swallow's Farmhouse in deep, rural Norfolk is home to Your People, a commune of idealists, free-thinkers and poets seeking a better way. But beneath the veneer of a nurturing, alternative lifestyle, their house is leaden with an atmosphere of jealousy and threat. They are chasing a dream already turning sour. Trying to survive amidst the hypocrisy and chaos is a nearly-thirteen-year-old girl; brave, witty and desperately pre-occupied with her transition into womanhood. With her silent, elf-like sister, beloved dog and a head full of Elizabeth David recipes, she marches resolutely towards her future, venturing - with hilarious and horrifying results - through the minefield of an adult world built on misplaced ideals." -- Provided by publisher.
