' I would compare her to writers like Helen Dunmore, Elizabeth Strout, Jon McGregor' BBC Radio 4So fresh and free she looked, in the yellow dress. Sunlight to blaze away the shadows. A farm in Norfolk in the 1970s. A Japanese girl comes to visit her English lover in the house where he was born. She arrives on a day of perfect summer, stands with his mother in a garden filled with roses, watches as his brother walks fields of ripening wheat. But between the two brothers lies the shadow of their father' s violent death almost twenty years before, the unresolved narrative of their childhood - a story that has gone untold, a story that began in the last war. In the presence of the girl, the old trauma begins to surface as the work of the harvest begins. In a compelling addition to Harding' s cycle of acclaimed novels on themes of witness, memory and silence, on what goes unsaid long after wars are over, Harvest tells how a family reaps the consequences of its past.
So deeply engaging, so threatening, so mild, so controlled - at every stage it seems as if desperate damage is about to be done, and then bit by excruciating bit you realise it was done long, long ago, and nobody you' re looking at now can do anything about it. What a writer! -- Louisa Young, author of My Dear I Wanted to Tell You Staggering . . . An unparalleled masterpiece * Lunate. co. uk * Praise for Land of the Living: ' Vivid, illuminating and unbearably tense . . . A masterly meditation on trauma, on beauty, on the idea of home and the limits of love * Guardian * Georgina Harding' s beautiful novels tell of wars, and troubled homecomings as traumatised fighting men try to re-enter interrupted marriages and homes grown strange . . . Land of the Living is as wise and haunting as its predecessors * New Statesman, Books of the Year * A quietly powerful novel * Observer * Audacious and moving . . . Masterly * Sunday Times * Remarkable and rare * Daily Mail * Tremendously imaginative, really compassionate . . . Manages to make them almost tangibly real, really immersive * BBC Radio 4 Open Book * Written with an admirable precision, and the dark of the narrative has to be teased out . . . It is a novel of ideas, for it invites you to think of questions of responsibility, exploitation, cruelty, brutality . . . One of those rare novels which has you thinking, when you reach the end, that there is much you have passed over which demands a second reading to be fully felt and understood -- Allan Massie * Scotsman *
