'I would compare her to writers like Helen Dunmore, Elizabeth Strout,
Jon McGregor' BBC Radio 4 'Harding achieves a weighty sense of silence
and things not said in this unsettling book about the aftershocks of
trauma and the burdens of bearing witness' Sunday Times 'A masterly
achievement, illuminating with wisdom and compassion the darkest
corners of the human heart' Guardian So fresh and free she looked, in
the yellow dress. Sunlight to blaze away the shadows. A farm in
Norfolk in the 1970s. A Japanese girl comes to visit her English lover
in the house where he was born. She arrives on a day of perfect
summer, stands with his mother in a garden filled with roses, watches
as his brother walks fields of ripening wheat. But between the two
brothers lies the shadow of their father's violent death almost twenty
years before, the unresolved narrative of their childhood – a story
that has gone untold, a story that began in the last war. In the
presence of the girl, the old trauma begins to surface as the work of
the harvest begins. In a compelling addition to Harding's cycle of
acclaimed novels on themes of witness, memory and silence, on what
goes unsaid long after wars are over, Harvest tells how a family reaps
the consequences of its past. 'Taut and unsettling ... A fine
meditation on war's long reach' Mail on Sunday
