Amanda Craig's The Lie of the Land is a suspenseful black comedy that explores the darker side of rural life. When Quentin and Lottie Bredin move their three children to a remote part of Devon, they are forced to confront the harsh realities of poverty, revenge, abuse, and violence in their new community. As they navigate the complexities of country life, the couple's own marriage is put to the test by secrets and lies. Meanwhile, their son Xan struggles with the challenges of zero-hours contracts and the local pie factory. As the year draws to a close, the lives of all involved will be changed forever. This rich and compassionate novel offers a nuanced portrayal of the English countryside and the potentially lethal interplay between money and marriage.
