High on a hilltop of windswept grasslands, once the site of a Celtic fort, stands Kimble's Top: the award-winning, innovative house built for Gina by her architect husband in the late 1960s. Now Gina has died and her will leaves Kimble's Top not to her daughter, but to her brash domineering niece, Robyn. Gina's father, William, cannot believe she had intended to leave her daughter with nothing. Besides, his suspicions have already been awakened by the sight of Robyn in intimate conversation with her uncle Tommy: William's hard-headed businessman son. Tommy and Robyn have barely exchanged a civil word for years. William, an 83 year old widower plagued by loneliness and old age, is nevertheless determined to learn the truth. Spurred on by the lies and deception he meets along the way, he soon begins to make painful discoveries. Ultimately his journey will lead to the revelation of a closely guarded secret at the heart of Kimble's Top itself. Set in the historic market town of Wellingborough, Kimble's Top has a sense of place firmly rooted in the Northamptonshire landscape and recognises that the deepest human dramas are often played out within the ordinary scenes of everyday life.

Margaret Roach worked at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia for 15 years, serving as Editorial Director for the last 6. She first made her name in gardening, writing a classic gardening book among other things. She now has a hugely popular gardening blog, "A Way to Garden." But despite the financial and professional rewards of her job, Margaret felt unfulfilled. So she moved to her weekend house upstate in an effort to lead a more authentic life by connecting with her garden and with nature. The memoir she wrote about this journey is funny, quirky, humble--and uplifting--an Eat, Pray, Love without the travel-and allows readers to live out the fantasy of quitting the rat race and getting away from it all.
