Flatlands is a homage to Paul Gallico’s The Snow Goose.
Freda, a twelve-year-old evacuee from East London, finds herself in the Lincolnshire countryside living with a strange, cold and abusive couple. She meets Philip Rhayader, a conscientious objector who has left Oxford and his vocation in the Church following a nervous breakdown, and he introduces her to the wonders of the natural world and its enduring power to heal.
