Summary

1939, and Will and Alice are evacuated to a granite farm in north Cornwall, perched on a windswept cliff. There they meet the farmer’s daughter, Maggie, and against shimmering barley fields and a sky that stretches forever, enjoy a childhood largely protected from the ravages of war.

Critics Review

A beautifully evocative story of love, loss and forgiveness. You can taste, feel, see and hear Cornwall on every page as the characters pull you into their lives. Loved it.

A beautifully evocative story of love, loss and forgiveness. You can taste, feel, see and hear Cornwall on every page as the characters pull you into their lives. Loved it. - Liz Fenwick

Absolutely loved it. Very rare I sit and devour 220 pages in one afternoon. - Nina Pottell

An evocative and page-turning story of love and heartbreak, written in beautiful and poignant prose that captivated me from first word to final page - Katie Marsh

A wonderful book about love and loss through the eyes of three generations of Cornish women. Lovable, flawed, and so very human, each character had me rooting for them right until the very end. But it was the setting on the north Cornwall coast that makes me love this book: the weather, the seasons, the landscape, the house are all written so vividly that I could step into that place and instantly know my way around. - Claire Fuller

Sarah Vaughan not only writes beautifully but her stories and characters have a way of climbing into your heart and staying there long after you’ve turned the last page … Highly recommended! - Fleur Smithwick

A gorgeously evocative love letter to Cornwall and an unputdownable story. I devoured it. - Katy Regan

A big-hearted story, and one that’s full of love for the Cornish landscape. With the convincing detail about farming life, and intriguing past and present storyline, The Farm at the Edge of the World thoroughly transported me to the far western wilds, and made me very reluctant to leave again. - Emylia Hall
