Vor der Morgendämmerung genießt Helen Rebanks die wenigen Minuten der Ruhe bei einer Tasse Tee, bevor ihr Mann und ihre vier Kinder im Haus herumwirbeln. Es gibt auch sechs Schäferhunde, zwei Ponys, 20 Hühner, 50 Rinder und 500 Schafe zu versorgen. Helen Rebanks ist Bäuerin. In einzigartiger Weise erzählt Die Frau des Farmers vom Leben einer Frau auf einem modernen Bauernhof im malerischen Lake District Englands. Als junges Mädchen träumte Helen Rebanks von einem Leben als Künstlerin. Auf keinen Fall wollte sie wie ihre Mutter und Großmutter das Leben einer Bäuerin führen.

Helen Rebanks' beautifully written memoir takes place across a single day on her working farm in the Lake District of England. Weaving past and present, through a journey of self-discovery, the book takes us from the farmhouse table of her grandmother and into the home she now shares with her husband, James, their four kids, and an abundance of animals. With honesty and grace, Helen shares her life in days—sometimes a wonder and a joy, others a grind to be survived—weaving in stories that unfolds like a well-written pastoral novel.

As dawn breaks on the farm, Helen Rebanks makes a mug of tea, relishing the few minutes of quiet before the house stirs. Within the hour the sounds of her husband, James, and their four children will fill the kitchen. There are also six sheepdogs, two ponies, 20 chickens, 50 cattle and 500 sheep to care for. Helen is a farmer's wife. Hers is a story that is rarely told, despite being one we think we know. Weaving past and present, Helen shares the days that have shaped her.
