Description

Madeleine Bunting is one of the most high-profile commentators in Britain.

Her father was deeply conservative, with romantic, old-fashioned views about England.

After his death, and wanting to understand him better, Bunting began to explore his passionate, lifelong attachment to a small plot of land in North Yorkshire.

Delving deep into the rich history of this acre, she uncovers traces of its Neolithic inhabitants and of the Cistercian monks; she learns of the medieval battles and considers the changing face of agriculture and leisure.

The result sheds a fascinating light on what a contested, layered place England is, and on what belonging to a place might mean to all of us.

The Plot is an original, heartfelt and deeply political book.
