Product Description

Product Description
Two friends work together on a smallholding: one allows the other to read the novel he is writing, The Land as Viewed from the Sea. As fiction begins to intrude upon reality, the friends' relationship is redefined, threatening to change their lives forever. With great delicacy and intelligence, Richard Collins has written a love story which is at once innovative, timeless and deeply affecting.

About the Author
Richard Collins has been a farm labourer, gardener and estate worker. He lives with his family in west Wales and teaches at the Institute of Rural Sciences in Llanbadarn

5.0 out of 5 stars original and true.....all the ingredients for a flawed love, 8 Feb 2005
By A Customer
After just completing the Time Travelers Wife, i was somewhat weary that any other love story could compare.
However i am please to inform you all that this book, is amazing. The author really understands the concept of a "flawed love"

The book is slightly short, however Richard Collins manages to deliver a truly exceptional debut.
Ultimately we learn giving too much love, is just as dangerous and giving too little.
BUY THIS BOOK. It has found a home in my Library!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dream-like love story with a hard edge., 30 Jan 2008
This book is written with a shifting structure that immerses the reader completely in the emotional whirlpool of the main characters. A man writes a novel telling the story of a major love affair and subsequent heartbreak, sharing it with a friend - who is now with the same woman. The beautiful descriptions of land and sea add to the dream- like quality and the final chapters of the books show that he never really understood the complete character of the woman he loved.
