The High House

Francesca, a scientist can see what is going to happen. The high house once her holiday home, is now turned into an ark for when the time comes. The mill powers the generator; the orchard is carefully pruned; they plant, store seed, and watch the weather carefully. A stunning novel which explores how we get used to change, and whether we place the needs of our families against the needs of others. Shortlisted for the Costa Novel Award 2021.
