Two girls living alone on an isolated Scottish hill farm make a serious error when they mistake Broden for a vagrant and antagonise him so comprehensively, first by torturing him and then by killing his beloved badgers. His revenge is not only instructive, but most appropriate under the circumstances as their roles as dairy maids became reversed.
But all was not as it seems. What are the girls doing living on such a desolate farm, why did they lie about the farm’s ownership, why are they building a new milking shed if their finances are so depleted, and, perhaps most importantly, what are their London friends planning? When Broden finally answers those questions, he feels compelled to act and the consequences not only go way beyond his expectations, but provided all the London girls with a stimulating new enterprise. For perhaps the first time in their lives, they’re doing something that’s useful, but, then again, they do have very little choice.
This is a novel of 67000 words and contains graphic scenes that are only suitable for an adult readership.
