I think the earlier reviewer is unkind. I found this novel totally convincing in its portrayal of family life, Kate's long and stale marriage, the English countryside and farming in its current crisis. The characters were rounded and sympathetic and the relationships sensitively portayed. The parts set in France create a wonderful and stimulating contrast to the beautifully drawn English scenes, and serve to point up the difference in the life Kate imagines she might have lead had she not married so young. A lovely book - quietly moving and with real insight into the sort of crises ordinary people can find they are facing in ordinary lives.

I thoroughly enjoyed "On Dancing Hill". Ok, it is not intellectually challenging and yes, a little predictable, but that was part of its charm.
If you have a lot of worries and things are not going your way, then this book provides some gentle and entertaining escapism. This is the first Sarah Challis book I have read and I shall look out for more.
