This cold country

"Daisy Creed, at the onset of the Second World War, is twenty years old, the daughter of a Church of England rector. Her life, instead of following the conventional pattern society has drawn for unmarried, middle-class girls, becomes one of infinite possibility. Daisy, who enlisted in the Women's Land Army the day after war was declared, sees herself 'as one of the cards tossed into the air and was fairly sure that wherever she landed she would prefer it to the life she watched her mother lead'."
"Daisy Creed sails to Ireland to meet her in-laws for the first time and finds the family in a spiral of forbidding grandeur and corruption before she resolves to save the family estate by securing her place as its mistress."
