In his haunting debut ‘Water and Sky’, Neil Sentance explored the history of his family and the landscape which shaped them. ‘Ridge and Furrow’ continues the project to chart in prose the voices of a seldom recorded people and place. From the long shadows of war and want, to facing the great changes to rural life in the twentieth century, to first forays into a world beyond the flatlands of Lincolnshire, the book delicately portrays the dreams of lone, and often lonely, figures in one family’s history.
